Jason’s first passion is helping people reach their physical goals every day as a Crossfit coach and Olympic Weightlifting coach.  He grew up in rural Scott County on a working farm of approximately 1000 acres, thus culminating his love of the outdoors, conservation, and stewardship of natural resources.

Jason’s outdoor activities include, hunting, fly-fishing (and fly tying), backpacking, kayaking/canoeing, visiting the National Parks and traveling to other outdoor spaces.  His other hobbies include martial arts, firearms training, wilderness survival, Japanese swordsmanship, woodworking, reading and writing.  Jason and his wife, MaryAnn, moved into their log home in 2019 that they had spent the previous 13 months building. They did all the work themselves, in the woods of Casey County, Kentucky.
