Steve Aragona:
Board Member
Steve was born in Newark, NJ and grew up in Morris County, where he attended high school at Delbarton.
He pursued a career in hospital pharmacy and holds a BS in Pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy, an MS in Clinical Pharmacy from St. John's University, and an MBA from Montclair State. During
his career he served as the Director of Pharmacy at three New Jersey hospitals and served a term as the
President of the New Jersey Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
Thanks to the influence of his parents, Steve developed a great appreciation for music from an early age.
He enjoys listening to everything from jazz, blues, rock and musicals to opera and symphonies. His
increased appreciation for jazz developed through attending performances at the jazz festivals in
Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and Cape May, New Jersey. Steve feels that an appreciation of the "the Arts"
should be an integral part of the life experience and would like to see younger audiences have increased
exposure. In addition to music, Steve enjoys photography, sports, and taking walks with his dog.
