Aaron has spent his career focused on healthcare data science and data strategy. Prior to starting Tuva he served as Senior Vice President of Technology for Health Catalyst. At Health Catalyst he was responsible for Touchstone – a data warehouse with medical records and claims data on more than 150M patients across the United States - which powered benchmarking, machine learning, and real-world evidence generation for the company. It was during this time that he came to acutely understand and appreciate the challenges involved in transforming healthcare data to enable analytics, A.I., and evidence.
Aaron began his career doing data analysis for Colorado Medicaid where he focused on a range of actuarial and population health analysis problems and helped the agency develop a comprehensive data strategy.
He completed his graduate training in economics at the University of Colorado Denver, specializing in statistical methods of causality.

Our Inspiration:
Richard Feynman
Richard Feynman was one of the most important scientists of the 20th century, working on the Manhattan Project and receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on quantum mechanics. His goal of reaching the former Soviet Union country of Tuva before his death (chronicled in the book Tuva or Bust) is an allegory for Feynman’s life and values.
