Raised in the "slums of Beverly Hills," Aaron Tesfai first attended the University of Southern California at the age of 17. As a freshman, he helped create a joint venture between the film and business schools that allowed students to major in the "Business of Cinema," a program that focused on the producing and representation fields of the industry. Aaron also co-managed a vocal group, which later went on to win two national championships―Go VoCals! Prior to graduation, he was already a full-time employee at the United Talent Agency, assisting the head of the motion picture department in the representation of more than a dozen A-list actors, musicians and directors, including Ben Stiller, Justin Timberlake and Judd Apatow.
After three years in the agency business, Aaron negotiated a full scholarship to Tulane University Law School where he rose through the ranks and refined his leadership and persuasive skills as an editor in chief of a law review and a school champion moot court orator. He later returned to Los Angeles to become an associate attorney at the AmLaw 100 firm of Bryan Cave LLP.
Counseling Fortune 500 companies and high net worth individuals in a variety of practice areas, including copyright law, contract drafting, commercial litigation and estate planning, he most enjoyed counseling his entertainment clients. In 2009, Aaron left Bryan Cave to work with artists and their financiers.
On the weekends, catch him snowboarding Mammoth mountain, shooting portraits and films and exploring all things LA.
