Aaron Hill - Aaron Hill was named President at Bixby Land Company, extending a successful 11-year tenure at Bixby where he most recently served as executive vice president and chief operating officer.

Hill’s new position as president will focus on implementing Bixby’s five-year strategic plan and oversee all operational facets of the company.
