Growing up in the Hills District of NSW, Aidan’s imagination never wilted. Despite his parents’ best efforts, Aidan believed in Santa Claus even up until he was 13-years-old.

It took a late Christmas Eve night when his uncle, knowing all Aidan’s younger cousins were asleep, took a bite into a carrot and stated, “That’s the reindeer done.”

Aidan would spend hours daydreaming, getting lost in magical worlds behind his eyes, unknowingly sprinting through his high-school courtyard, simply excited by what he imagined.

Aidan’s joyful dreaming kept him sprinting all the way into classes at Helen O’Grady Drama Academy in primary, into every musical offered in high school, and all the way across the country for a year at WAAPA, and back again, for three at NIDA.

After all his training, Aidan is ready to bring stories to life, with the hope of igniting in audiences that same childhood wonder that keeps him sprinting today.
