Early Life and Education[edit]

Aaron Reed was born in Nacogdoches, Texas and grew up in Rockport, Texas. His early interest in the outdoors was nurtured by his hometown's natural environment of woods, waters, and the Texas Gulf coast.

Reed was one of the first certified wildlife guides in Texas, operating eco-tours and birding and fishing charters in deep South Texas. He continued his work in the fishing industry as a crewboat and offshore supply vessel captain in the Gulf of Mexico and maintained a blog to capture his experiences. He is noted as a "local pro" in kayak fishing in Austin, Texas.
