Aaron M. Smith has 10 years of experience in the field, with one year of experience as parts engineer for Progress Energy.

The most gratifying aspect of his career is supplying electricity by ensuring that all operations are running smoothly.

He attributes his success to his father for recognizing his talent and motivating him to excel. Mr. Smith holds two patents for an anti-tipping mechanism for Snap-on Incorporated, and a cooling water monitoring system for General Electric Company.
