Aaron Stigger was born and raised in Oak Park, IL, just outside of Chicago. Despite his city dwellings, he has an obsession with the outdoors and designing the gear that goes with it. He's climbed mountains, scaled rock formations, slept in trees and eaten green ants for breakfast. Along with his love for industrial design, Aaron also enjoys time in his veggie garden, playing softball, soccer, jumping in mud puddles and volunteering with the Sierra Club's "Inner City Outings" program.
