After 11 years living in Connecticut, I returned home to be closer to my family. Sure having close friends and my sports teams nearby are an added bonus. And if you don't know, I will tell you Connecticut is about as interesting as it sounds. So here are 10 random facts about me.

1. I have 9 siblings. I would break it down for you but I'd be at the character limit.

2. I swam competitively for 9 years. Sorry to disappoint, the speedo has been retired.

3. Photography is a passion of mine. My 2 nephews and 2 nieces make great models (they are basically THE cutest).

4. I love to travel - Hawaii and Ireland are my favorite so far. San Francisco, Australia and London are still on the list.

5. I am a die hard Philadelphia sports fan and still go to Sunday baseball games with my Dad. If you are a Mets fan or a Giants fan, we might have a problem... or maybe it could lead to some fun wagers.

6. While I would never leave you for a golf trip with the guys, I will dominate you on the mini-golf course. If I don't I will gladly buy you ice cream.

7. Disney dork? Well, my mom told me to never lose sight of the kid inside of you, and I haven't

8. I have won 3 Emmy Awards, how did I get them? Well that is something you will have to find out.

9. You might even be able to talk me into some "chick flicks"... I mean "I carried a Watermelon"

10. My name is Aaron and I approve this message.

1. Family - Mine is huge, but that is ok, I like it that way.

2. Friends - I have been blessed with some amazing people in my life, some of which are considered family. I would be lost sometimes without them.

3. Laughter - I think this one is self explanatory

4. Beach - There is just something peaceful and calming about laying on the beach, building sand castles and being out in the water

5. A great playlist - variety is key to any great playlist - everything from Stevie Wonder to Springsteen to Allen Stone to Michael Jackson and of course some kick ass cheesy 80's songs.

6. My camera - I am not one of those peoples that walks around the city with their camera attached but it is a creative outlet that I love.
