"I'd rather be sidelined trying to achieve greatness, than have watched greatness achieved and only sat on the sidelines."
-Jacob Emery
Dead or in jail by 21—that’s what people expected of me. I grew up insecure, overweight, and constantly in trouble, with no confidence and no plans for the future. In 2007, I skipped college and started at R&R Pipeline, Inc., earning $9 an hour with a shovel in my hand. After years of going nowhere, a mentor asked, “What the hell are you doing with your life?” That question changed everything. I committed to personal growth, became a Crew Leader at 22, and set a bold goal: to own R&R Pipeline by 30. Against all odds, my business partner and I made it happen in 2019. From there, I became a shareholder of Max Effort Muscle and helped launch CrossFit Uprising and started the Iron & Infrastructure Podcast. I’ve merged my love for equipment and lifting weights, now it’s time to include my third passion, helping others.
Unlocking Greatness Group Coaching
The Unlocking Greatness Coaching Program is built for people who know they’re meant for more—but just aren’t sure how to get there. After years of learning from mentors like Dan Martell, Trevor Bachmeyer, and Cory Gregory—and investing in elite programs like Strategic Coach, 10 Disciplines, and EOS—I knew it was time to step into a new role: helping others break barriers and level up. These experiences helped me rewrite a story that once had a ceiling of “dead or in jail by 21.” Today, I have ownership in five businesses and a personal playbook for success I now want to share with you.
