Who is Aaron Witt?

I grew up in Scottsdale, a world far from blue-collar. But as I pondered what to do with my life in high school, a mesmerizing construction project appeared in my neighborhood.

I called the company owner and asked for a job. By dumb luck, that 18-year-old, shaking in his brand-new work boots, found his life’s purpose. Great. But the work was only beginning.

Fast-forward to 2018, I began sharing photos and what I was learning on social media while serving a brief stint in the heavy construction industry. One, two, six, I started BuildWitt, dedicated to telling the Dirt World’s (critical infrastructure + natural resources) story to help attract the next generation with only a camera and plenty of ignorance.

Today, BuildWitt helps the Dirt World attract, train, and retain the next generation with software, storytelling, and live leadership events.

Beyond leading the company, I visit construction and mining operations across America and worldwide to grow BuildWitt’s reach and brand — all the fun stuff you’ll find on this page!
