Aaron McCallister
General Manager
Aaron was born in Grand Junction, CO and has always had a love for Glenwood Springs as a child. After graduating high school, Aaron left Grand Junction for the big city (Denver) to study to become a chef. He attended Johnson & Wales University earning an A.S. in Culinary Arts and a B.S. in Food Service Management. He had the amazing opportunity to work at The Broadmoor, The Little Nell and Disney World, as well as many other restaurants in the Denver area. His passion for food has always been strong, but he missed customer service interactions.
After graduation he moved on to work at Whole Foods Market as a fishmonger in Denver. There he could speak with customers, teach people how to cook and still work with food. In 2012 he moved to the Roaring Fork Valley to open up the Whole Foods Market in Basalt as the Associate Store Team Leader. After several years he moved on to his next journey and joined the Iron Mountain Hot Springs team as the Operation Manger in October of 2018. Now the General Manger, he enjoys the experiences our guests get when they arrive. From the daily pass holder that swings in before or after work, to the young couple that just got married, or the family that hasn’t had a vacation in years. People come here for the same thing and he is proud to be a part of that. Happily married with two young children, Aaron enjoys spending time with his family, fly fishing, biking, snowboarding, camping or homebrewing beer.
