Aaron was born and raised in Cody, Wyoming. He attended the University of Wyoming where he earned a degree in chemistry with a minor in psychology. He was drawn to medicine initially because he wanted to be an ophthalmologist, but quickly learned that his passion leaned more toward engaging with patients in the clinic rather than in the OR. His interest solidified when he was able to spend shadowing time with his own family medicine doctor, and as he gained experience in healthcare during the time between undergrad and medical school. He is primarily interested in family medicine and pediatrics, but is open to other specialties. He enjoys baking with recipes from Claire Saffitz and John Kanell as well as playing basketball and spending time with his friends.
