Jake is the founder of Richmond Virginia's very first Crossfit affiliate, once known as "Crossfit RVA." His gym is now de-affiliated and specializes in various forms of personal training to help everyone who walks through their doors reach their respective goals.

CrossFit Level 1 Certificate Holder
USAW National Level Coach
NAS National Competitor 2010 and 2011

Jake started training while he was still a student at VCU looking for new and more effective methods of training. Along with a couple of friends, he started RVA Performance Training out of the backyard of his Fan house in 2007. Jake quickly became enamored with all things strength. He competed in the Strongman from 2008 to 2013, including two appearances at the NAS Nationals (‘10 and ‘11).

Jake started the RVA Weightlifting team and RVA Barbell program to further develop strength athletes and coaches, working with everyone from beginners to national champions.
