Aaron Rouse
FOR VIRGINIA BEACH CITY COUNCIL at-large
Aaron was raised in Friendship Village within the historic
Seatack community of Virginia Beach. He graduated from
First Colonial High School and went on to attend Virginia
Tech, playing football on a scholarship for the Hokies. Aaron
graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sociology
from Virginia Tech. After college, Aaron was drafted in the
NFL to play for the Green Bay Packers.
After a successful career in the NFL, Aaron decided to return
home to serve his community. He coached boys football at
Virginia Beach Middle School, started a local non-profit to
serve young students in need, and today serves as a mentor
to many student-athletes. Aaron’s grandfather served in the
Army and taught him the principle of leadership by example
– not to talk about change but to be the change.
“
Many of my friends and neighbors across
Virginia Beach know that I have a passion
to serve our community. - Aaron Rouse
”
Aaron plans to bring a new generation of leadership to City Council and provide a fresh voice to
local government – one that lauds service & leadership and appreciates the full fabric of Virginia
Beach. He wants to see his hometown become a model coastal city for all who live here and those
that visit.
