When Aaron V. started his apprenticeship through the Construction program at Wilson Talent Center in 1995, he had one goal: become a plumber. Thirty years later, that goal has transformed into a remarkable career—and a legacy.

Now a Master Plumber, Aaron has spent the last three decades growing with The Meridian Company, shaping not just his profession but the company’s identity and values. His dedication to service, craftsmanship, and mentorship is a shining example of what career and technical education can ignite.

Aaron is more than a skilled tradesman—he’s a leader, a loyal employee, and a reminder of the impact students can make when given the tools and training to thrive.

Congratulations, Aaron! Your story inspires the next generation of WTC students to dream big, work hard, and stay grounded in their values.
