Aaron Polston:
Outstanding Cintas Hero

Aaron Polston, a Market Sales Manager at Loc. 466 in Phoenix, AZ, exemplified the Cintas spirit when his quick action saved the life of an elderly woman struck by a vehicle this past year.

While stopped at a red light as he was driving home from dinner with his wife Megan, Aaron Polston witnessed an elderly woman get struck by an SUV on a main street in Phoenix, AZ. Aaron jumped out of his vehicle and ran to the woman’s aid in the middle of the road. However, just as he was approaching the woman to help keep her calm, the light behind him turned green and cars began to race towards them.

In order to save both of their lives, Aaron jumped in front of the oncoming traffic waving his hands to alert them to stop. Once traffic had halted, Aaron began to perform CPR on the woman as his wife called 911. The woman suffered head trauma and a few broken bones but was alive. Shortly after, Aaron received a phone call from the woman’s two sons thanking him for saving her life.

Congratulations to Aaron Polston, our newest Outstanding Cintas Hero for 2013!
