Aaron Fink (born 22 April 1978) is the lead guitarist and occasional backing vocalist for the rock band Breaking Benjamin. He broke away from his former band Lifer in late 2001, along with bandmate Mark James Klepaski (bass), in a surprising blind leap of faith to join his old high school friend Ben Burnley (vocals/guitar) and Jeremy Hummel (former drummer) in creating Breaking Benjamin. Today's current members of Breaking Benjamin are Ben Burnley, Mark Klepaski, Chad Szeliga, and himself.
Fink is living in Pennsylvania and had a son born in 2002 named Gavin. His mother is Elizabeth Fink. He has helped Ben Burnley write many of the bands lyrics and is a strong backbone of the band. Fink is an expressive guitarist with a flair for both color and crunch. "He's not so much a riff guy as someone who creates atmosphere. His talents really shine through here," states Ben Burnley about Fink's work on the band's second album We Are Not Alone.
In live performances, Fink currently plays his own custom model Washburn Idol guitar. It is based on the Idol series, fitted with a single humbucking pickup in the bridge position.
