Hello! I'm Aaron. I was born in Cleveland and grew up on the east side, in Beachwood. I went to art school in Chicago at Columbia College, before realizing a different path in the specialty coffee industry. I had grand plans of traveling the world to taste and buy the best coffees. Instead, I opted to take the easier path and study medicine.

I finished my undergraduate degree at Loyola University Chicago and went to medical school at Rosalind Franklin University in North Chicago. I rotated through the safety net hospitals in Chicago which solidified my desire to work with an underserved population. MetroHealth's mission aligned with my own and allowed me to give back to my home community.

Outside of medicine you will still find me at all the new coffee shops, going to the art museum, live music shows around town, or rock climbing, or hiking, or skiing, or snow-shoeing, but mostly just playing with my dog.
