Aaron Grimm, MS
Therapist

I grew up in the Mankato area, and returned home after hopping around the state (Duluth, St. Paul and Bloomington) throughout college and my early career. As a youth, I spent most of my time playing sports, including football, hockey, basketball and tennis. Prior to embarking on my journey to become a therapist, I worked in education for 20 years, working directly with students in grades 5-12. My spouse and I are working to blend our two households. I have two sons, she has two daughters, and we have a motley crew of pets consisting of dogs, cats, and a bearded dragon. I particularly enjoy cooking, pickleball, hiking, and almost any activity outside, especially on the water. My happy places are at our family’s cabin and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
