Aaron Cooke is a salesman and former ballet dancer that competed on two seasons of American Ninja Warrior.
American Ninja Warrior 5[]
Cooke debuted at the Venice Qualifiers and got a fully televised run. The angle of his fluff piece was centered around how he's dedicating this run to his son. His son was diagnosed with autism and he wanted to show his son that anything is possible. He competed whilst wearing an autism awareness t-shirt. Cooke was putting together a good run until he reached the ninja killer, the Flying Nunchucks. Cooke's leap off the trampoline was weak and he couldn't get a good hold on the first set of nunchucks. His time wasn't enough to move on.
American Ninja Warrior 6[]
Cooke returned to Venice for the second year straight. This time his run was digested. Cooke couldn't hold on during the Spinning Wheel, ending his season early.
