AARON SCHAEFER :: Aaron is originally from the Iowa City area and has been back since late 1999 after spending much of his childhood and young adult life criss-crossing the nation.  He’ll tell you that even though he learned a lot traversing this country, Eastern Iowa remains his favorite place to come home to.  After a brief stint at the University of Georgia, Aaron arrived at the University of Iowa.  He graduated in 2002 with a BBA in Finance and Management and immediately continued towards an MBA.  After completing his studies in 2004, he took a job at the Hills Bank and Trust where is currently works as a Trust Investment Officer at their South Gilbert location.  Along with his involvement with The James Gang, Aaron also volunteers as an Ambassador with the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce and serves on the board of directors of The Riverside Theatre.  Aaron is a former member of the now defunct Atlanta area band Slight Return but still can be found playing and singing original material at local restaurants (mainly The Mill) and community events.  He spends lots of time in the Amana Colonies with his family and enjoys fishing and hunting in the rivers and hills around the area.
