History

Aaron Glasgow

Aaron Glasgow was one of the founders of Radio Tierra. As the main technician for the station, Aaron donated hundreds of hours of his time to make Radio Tierra a reality. His dedication to the station — and bravery — was unforgettably demonstrated on that windy and snowy day on January 24th of 2004 when he climbed the tower of the Hood River hospital to initiate the first broadcast for Radio Tierra.

Aaron is the owner of Edprogress, founded in 2000 to create custom software for the educational markets.
