Aaron Bendickson — system administrator, saint — talks about how he runs things at Omni and, especially, about how he fixes things.

Aaron’s just a small town boy from Missoula who went big: he studied at Berklee College of Music and eventually made his way to Seattle by way of Tacoma. When he’s not fixing Omni things, he’s bicycling, competing in pinball matches, and being a dad.

You can find Aaron @benaar on Twitter and on Instagram.
