Aaron W. Herd

New Media Coordinator

My Name is Aaron and I Enjoy Creating Things.

It’s true!

As the New Media Coordinator for S.J. Quinney, I handle web development and design, as well as manage our video and podcasting needs.

Professional Experience

I have had the pleasure of working at Quinney since 2007, and have found it my most rewarding and enjoyable work experience to date. Prior to joining the law school, I was a professional short-film and DVD producer with the LDS Audiovisual dept., and was also responsible for IT management. I have been engaged in independent contract and consulting work in video production, web design, and IT support since 1998.

Other Potentially Interesting Trivia

In my spare time I enjoy--surprise!--programming, design, writing, and generally honing my skill set. Strange that I would find such things relaxing, but it’s true. The waste of time known as sleep is my sworn enemy.

I also enjoy running, diving, and going on trips with my wife. I have an odd obsession with watermelon, spicy food, and the nation of Austria. According to recent studies, I am married to the cutest girl named Katrina that currently exists.*
