When Iron Palace was founded by Jarrett Ferguson and Ryan Crush, it was their vision to educate and implement proper sports performance training in the Roanoke valley. After Jarrett became a strength coach at his alma mater—Virginia Tech and Ryan pursued other career options, it was an honor to take over. My goal remains the same, to help educate and elevate athletes in the area.

“Whether it is speed & agility training, weight lifting, or combine prep, I believe in progressions while training. In the most simple terms, this means building up to specific movements rather than jumping right into a complex clean or snatch for example. As a coach and mentor, I believe it is my responsibility to help athletes achieve their goals.”
