Family: 

Born in a small town in southwestern MN, Aaron was raised in a wonderful family of five that moved around often due to his father's career in the military. By the age of 14 he had lived in 17 different houses and five different school districts within MN, and as a family they had grown to understand that God had a special plan for each of them, including detachment from the regular America lifestyle. Together as a family, the Kuhn's have spent their lives as music ministers at each parish they moved into over the years, to draw people to the Lord in praise. His parents and siblings, a brother and sister, have each in turn offered their lives to the Lord's service within the church.

Aaron's younger brother, Matthew has a degree in Music Education from the College of St. Olaf, MN, and has also decided to pursue priesthood.

Aaron's younger sister, DeAnna, earned a degree in Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas, MN, with a minor in Broadcast Journalism and concentration in the area of television, film, and other media. In the summer of 2006, she attended a screenwriters program called Act One, and she has been living in California (not far from Hollywood) since then.
