Ayden was born on August 24, 2007. His favorite things are his best friend and emotional support dog, Penny. Ayden has an obsession with flags and air dancers. A video taken of him reacting to his very own air dancer went viral and he became known as the flag kid. In 2024 the mayor of Nixa, Missouri presented Ayden with the very first revised flag of Nixa at a city council meeting. Mayor Giddens said, "I can't think of a better citizen to receive the very first Nixa flag." He brings joy to everyone around him.
