Default Joined New Home Game...Advice Needed

Hello all. I'm a new 2+2 member and this is my fisrt post so if its in the wrong thread I apologize. Anyway here's my problem. I've been playing poker now for about 6 months and recently got hooked up with a local home game through a co-worker. I've been playing the game, held once a week, for 4 weeks now and am doing ok. Its a regular cash game with 25-50 cent blinds. I've bought in for $10 twice and $20 twice and am overall up $36. I dont really see anyone at the game as a real dominating player, but there is one guy who has been at my table the past 3 weeks who i've been having some trouble with. He is super agressive and likes to play almost every hand. He probably sees 85-95% of his hands to the flop, He very rarely makes a PF raise, mostly just calls the BB if he can or any other PF raise if its less than 4X the BB. He has a very intimidating table presence and is usually able to bet and scare off whoever else is in the hand. When the hand does make it to the river he probably wins about 50-60% of the time. Most of his hands though are never exposed bc he scares everyone off, so its hard to really get alot of information off of him. I do know he is willing to PF raise with any Ax,Kx,and high suited connectors like 8-9 or 9-10; and it seems he likes to slow play premium pocket pairs. Also from the few hands I've seen he will push hard with flush and straight draws and will call big bets with them too. I really think I could be doing better if I knew how to play better against this type of player and it almost seems like I'm playing scared alot of the time against him. I don't really have alot of experience as i'm still fairly new to the game, and this is my first regular home game. So I was wondering if there is any general strategy/tips/suggestions you guys could offer to dealing with this guy and other super agressive players like this. Any comments/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
