Meet Coach Jamie

Over 100 Amateur Fights. National-Level Experience. Elite Coaching Background.
 

Coach Jamie began boxing at just 11 years old, building an amateur career that included 107 fights.

One statistic stands above all others:

Nobody ever beat him twice.
 

During his competitive career, Jamie accomplished:

  • Two-time Upper Midwest Golden Gloves Champion (1998 & 1999)

  • Competed in four National Championships

  • Competitor in the American Boxing Classic

  • Competitor in the Gene Lewis Invitationals

  • Invited to try out for the United States Olympic Team
     

Jamie was preparing to turn professional and sign with legendary promoter Don King when a serious car accident abruptly ended his boxing career.

Rather than leave the sport behind, he chose to pass on everything he had learned by becoming a coach.
