He tried several names with the Department of Insurance and none of them were approved because they closely resembled other existing insurance agencies. Aaron and his wife and were having a conversation, trying to come up with a brand new name. She asked him what do you love about skiing? He said he loves arcing turns. She then asked what is his favorite chair lift? He said, Chair 23 at Mammoth. That is how they came up with the name Arc 23.

That is the true story on how the name Arc 23 was created.
