Meet Aren, the dynamic force behind Playful Minds Club! Since his high school days, he's been on a mission to light up the lives of young minds. From teaching the technical aspects of theater for local elementary school plays while in high school,  to teaching in and managing after school enrichment programs, Aren knows the magic of consistency, dedication, and a sprinkle of love.

Having spread his positive vibes from California to New York, Aren believes every child deserves a chance to shine, no matter where they come from. His mantra? Education, motivation, and inspiration!  With self belief and support everyone in the shadows can find a way to step into their shine. Aren loves being a part of this process.

On a different creative note,  Aren is the proud author of the book “Little Anya and Her Forever Family”., available on Amazon.  The book was inspired by the adoption of his first Mini Schnauzer Anya, and how positive and effervescent she was.   Publishing a book was a life long dream of Aren’s, and he is excited to share it with the world.  For more information about the book Click Here.

But thats not all - When he's not shaping the future, you'll find Aren lost in the enchanting world of theater, especially musicals and Shakespeare. "Les Misérables" and "Romeo and Juliet" hold special places in his heart.   Aren enjoys creating animated videos, you can find them on his youtube channel, and finding other outlets for his creativity.

And let's not forget his adorable sidekicks, Minnow and Tayoh, his two mischievous Miniature Schnauzers. They're his partners in crime during those rare moments of downtime.

To sum it up, Aren lives and breathes by Walt Disney's timeless words: "All of your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them."
