Aron

Aron Yohannes joined the sports staff of The Baltimore Banner in June 2023 as a reporter. He previously reported on trending topics in sports and contributed to the Portland Trail Blazers beat for The Oregonian. He originally began his career covering the Milwaukee Bucks from 2012-2016 for SB Nation, which included the worst season in franchise history, but also the foundational years of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s illustrious career. He then went on to work in digital media for the Seattle Seahawks from 2016-2018 and for Amazon from 2019-2021. Aron was born and raised on the north side of Milwaukee and is a 2015 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. He’s also of Eritrean descent. In 2013, Ryan Braun told him he was one of Wisconsin’s best dressed. He lied about that, too.
