Personal Background
Jason grew up in Howard County and spent most of his youth playing baseball with the Elkridge Hurricanes. He went on to play baseball at Mount Saint Joseph High School before suffering a shoulder injury that required two surgeries, extensive rehabilitation, and sports performance to attempt to play again. Jason later walked on for one season of baseball as a pitcher at Frostburg State University.
This experience became the most influential factor in his professional development and continues to drive his passion for providing optimal rehab care, strength and conditioning, and sport performance to his clients. Jason competed in 2013-2016 NPC Men’s Physique bodybuilding at the national level before having to stop due to being struck by a drunk driver. Unable to train for nearly 2 years due to surgeries and rehab, it was during this time he and his wife focused on making the vision of Chiseled become reality.
Jason now loves anything and everything he can get into with his son Niko, plays ice hockey, enjoys tactical fitness and firearms training, is an avid snowboarder, is trying to become a golfer, and loves big trucks, fast cars, and motorcycles.
