Jake’s passion for CrossFit began long before he knew what CrossFit even was. He grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and his childhood consisted of him playing just about every sport imaginable. From baseball, basketball, soccer, golf, tennis, football, to hockey and competitive snowboarding, he loved it all.
After moving to San Diego at 20, he began working at a Fitness Trainer for two years where he was then introduced to “functional fitness” for the first time. His passion for fitness then grew to a passion for service, where he then worked for the next 8 years as an EMT, Paramedic, and now currently a Firefighter/Paramedic for San Diego Fire-Rescue. When he isn’t at CrossFit Flood, you can find him with his Wife and 6 month old daughter serving in
their local church, or outdoors when possible. He believes the biggest investment you can make is in other people. He is currently working on his degree in Fire Technology, and his NSCA Tactical Fitness Certification.
