After graduating from University in the USA, Aaron began his journalistic career as a news reporter for Prime Television/Seven Network in Sydney and Canberra. A landmark in the initial stage of his career was the recognition of his work and a prestigious award by the Australian National Press Club.

Following his work in Australia, Aaron was appointed European Bureau Chief in London for Paramount Picture's Real TV News and then as a senior news anchor with CNBC/NBC Nordic. Aaron's work has taken him all over the world and he has lived in several cities including Manila, San Francisco, Paris and Copenhagen.

Aaron joined the BBC in 2002. He has since covered some of the world's major news events. He currently continues covering the global credit crunch and subsequent global economic slowdown across all of the BBC outlets including Breakfast, the BBC News channel and BBC World News. He has also reported on an extensive range of stories, from the on-going war on terrorism, the vagaries of the Argentine economy, the plight of Japanese banking, the Iraq war and the virtual collapse of world tourism that arose from the outbreak of the SARS virus.

Aaron has interviewed some of the world's biggest corporate leaders, as well as members of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Union and the World Trade Organisation.

An area in which Aaron is particularly interested is the global aviation and airline industry. He has interviewed the heads of almost every major airline in the world, including the leaders of the airline governing bodies.

Aaron lives with his wife Rachel, who's a lawyer, in London and Kent.
