Career
Aaron began playing ice hockey at the age of four . Five years later, he tried his hand at figure skating for the first time. From then on, he pursued both sports in parallel for the next seven years. Aaron played ice hockey in the top class of under 16s. For two seasons he led the league in goals and penalty minutes. In 2007 he made it as one of 40 ice hockey players on the perspective team of the US ice hockey association. In the same year he finished 13th at the national junior championships in figure skating. In 2008, Aaron suffered a lumbar injury that resulted in a year-long rest period. He then decided to give up his ice hockey career and focus on figure skating.

In 2011, Aaron became the US Junior Champion and finished fifth in the Junior World Championships . In 2012 he took part in the US Seniors Championships for the first time and finished them in eighth place.
