pioneer in starting the Veterans Resource Center at 萝莉研究所 and helped shape
what it is today. During his time at NC, Aguilar endured many obstacles but he did
not give up even when he wanted to throw in the towel. Instead, he went on to earn
a master's degree in Kinesiology from California Baptist University. Today, he has
come full circle and is now a full-time Kinesiology professor at his alma mater, Norco
College. In his spare time, Aguilar works out at his CrossFit gym, where he is the
co-owner. He also volunteers his time to his non-profit organization, A-1 Skyraider,
based in Rubidoux, where he grew up. The non-profit focuses on helping youth stay
away from gangs and violence. He is passionate about paying it forward and serves
as a role model for those around him.
