It was there that Jamie found his appreciation of community through sport. After college, Jamie moved to Sacramento California & worked directly for the professional sports team the Sacramento Kings. Jamie met Chad and Sandra Augustine, two very positive & influential people that got him into Metrx, where he was worked a booth at the Olympia in 2008, and worked the Arnold Classic in 2009. Jamie performing a muscle up in Miami Jamie was a customer of Diane Carlos' Max Muscle in Sacramento for two years before he decided to purchase a franchise himself. He enjoyed the atmosphere so much he stated he was nearly “begging” Diane to let him work weekends at the store. This lead Jamie to quit his full time job with the Sacramento Kings, and begin working full time at Max Muscle. Jamie felt like he knew the customers of the store, and he liked that community feeling. Jamie owns a Max Muscle in Franklin Tennessee where he creates a welcoming, educational atmosphere. He  focuses on positivity and believes that there is plenty of competition out there, however his focus is to drive positivity into the community. CrossFit Jamie currently volunteers early mornings to coaching his athletes at CrossFit Cool Springs.
