Competing as an athlete for most of his life, Jake has always been drawn to strength and conditioning. Football, Track&Field, Cheerleading, Powerlifting, and Strongman are just a few of the sports he has been involved in. Today those passions have been geared towards his health and fitness and training jiu-jitsu to compete. Jake coaches with a servant’s heart, aiming to help others unlock a part of themselves they never knew existed. Along with coaching, Jake is currently a Volunteer/Part-time Firefighter in Pleasant view. He has also donated many hours to tornado relief efforts in his hometown in Kentucky, East Nashville, and Mt. Juliet. A burning passion for putting others before himself separates him from other coaches.

Jake is currently working towards certifications as an Assistant Coach under the direct supervision of Owner and Head Coach Jeff Black.
