Aaron Tockstein
Aaron lives in southeast Michigan, but dreams of living beyond the Mackinac Bridge. Sure, it’s the same state, but 300+ miles offers a vast lifestyle difference. For now, occasional camping or his backyard oasis with firepit will suffice. Fire is fire.
About Me
Outdoorsman, amateur cook, fire tender, data guy, web designer, entrepreneur
Founder of Verdant Pastures Media, LLC, Aaron has spent his life working with databases and web development during the day, and bonfires and outdoor cooking at night. He knew there had to be a crossroads between his hobbies, a desire to constantly learn, some free time due to quarantine, and his dreams. This website and the others below are the result.
