Prior to AIR, he worked at AcademyHealth, where he provided qualitative research, policy analysis, and project management support to an extensive portfolio of Medicaid-specific projects, which utilized multi-state Medicaid claims data to examine issues of importance to the Medicaid program while measuring the impact of state Medicaid policies on outcomes.
