Jake began his career in the health industry after graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 2016. Since then, he’s channeled his passion for health and wellness into working as a personal trainer and weightlifting coach, where he guided clients of all backgrounds toward their fitness goals through practical, evidence-based coaching. 

In recent years, Jake has transitioned away from one-on-one coaching and moved behind the page as a writer and editor. His hands-on expertise has led Jake to be featured in multiple publications as a subject matter expert, in addition to having written and edited hundreds of scientific articles on nutrition and exercise. 

Today, Jake remains deeply committed to the principles that first drew him toward being a health and wellness professional. Whether he’s writing an in-depth feature or putting the latest fitness trends under the microscope, Jake’s goal is the same—empower people to change their lives by bringing heady scientific topics down to ground level.
