Coach and Strength Tank Co-Owner Jesse started Weightlifting in 2000, with his first meet in 2001 in Breckenridge, CO. Under the tutelage of coaches like Dr. Mel Siff, Artie Dressler, and Dr. Brach Poston, he has competed over the past 20 years in local, Collegiate National, American Open, and Senior National meets. Jesse started coaching after getting his USAW Level 1 in 2007, achieved his National level certification in 2012 - and has since coached hundreds of Lifters on the Local and National levels. Jesse is also a Senior National coach with USA Powerlifting where he has coached several National level athletes, including one of the top female Powerlifters in the Nation in her weight class. In the mid-2010s, he helped run one of the largest Weightlifting teams in the US at the time (over 100 USAW registered athletes). Jesse is very excited to be back in the Weightlifting game and along with the amazing (and beautiful) fellow Strength Tank coaching staff, bring top-level coaching to our members/athletes!
Formerly working in the engineering world for over a decade, Coach Jesse made the switch to start a gym (CrossFit Fortius) in 2012, later opening several locations in the San Diego area.
A lifelong passion for strength and power athletics is what drives Jesse to build the best gyms possible!
