Aaron Lee Burros spent the majority of his formative years in Houston, Texas. In 2009, he graduated from The College of Biblical Studies. At nearly 400 lbs and unhappy with his health and appearance, he turned to running and lost almost 100 lbs his first year and 75 lbs over the next 4 years. While preparing to run a 50-mile ultramarathon in 2015, Aaron was the victim of a workplace shooting. He returned to running in 2019 following grueling physical and emotional therapy and has completed several marathons and raised tens of thousands of dollars for charities since. Aaron makes his home in Houston, Texas.
