JASON'S POWERLIFTING CAREER

Unfortunately, Jason ripped his Pectoral in a competition, which required career ending surgery. However, over a decade later his records still stand, and are not under any threat of being broken in the near future.
In 2003 Jason purchased Ironworks Fitness Clubs in Philadelphia, PA. These are the gyms that he calls home. Through Ironworks Jason gives back to the community by performing countless hours of community service with multiple organizations including St. Jude's Foundation for Cancer Research, Alex's Lemonade Stand, Retired Veteran's League, and Stand-Up for Kids.
