Aaron Y. Peterson | Executive VP of Sales – Satellite Offices & Owner, Prosper, Inc. | Age: 33

“I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city in the world” —Steve McQueen 

Aaron Y. Peterson learned to work from sunrise to sunset while growing up on a farm in Idaho. And he’s applied that work ethic to every aspect of his life, knowing that a challenge can be defeated with a little hard work. “I think any challenge can be made into a great opportunity to learn and grow.”

As EVP of Prosper, Inc., Peterson raised the company’s revenue from $25,000 to $1.5 million in less than 5 years. In the same time frame, he grew the company’s staff from 15 sales representatives to nearly 200. “Aaron strives to provide a clear direction and vision…he has a track record of solid results,” says Jason Russell of Prosper.

When Peterson’s not working or spending time with his family, you’ll find him casting a line on one of the state’s pristine rivers.
