Old Man Strength: EP 7.13 Aaron Lombard on Growing Up with Williams Syndrome, Family Advocacy & Finding Community

Aaron Lombard joins Chris Shipley live from the Williams Syndrome Association Convention in Buffalo, New York (2026) for a powerful, real-talk episode of Old Man Strength.

Aaron shares his journey as the older sibling to his sister Courtney “Coco,” growing up in New Orleans, navigating a late diagnosis in the early 80s, moving the family to Phoenix, and stepping up as a fierce advocate. From the challenges of the special needs system and red tape to the life-changing impact of WSA conventions and Zoom “Dream Team” calls, this conversation is full of perspective, humor, and heart.

They dive into sibling dynamics, step-parenting twins with Williams Syndrome, the importance of community and support, baseball roots (including Aaron’s work with Oakley and Ken Griffey Jr.’s HBCU Classic), and why advocacy and awareness matter — especially around DEI and resources for families.

Raw, honest, and inspiring — this one will make you laugh, think, and appreciate the strength it takes to show up for family.

LIVE from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios.
