About Dr. Jake

We all have goals. Mine is to help you reach yours.

How I got here.

I grew up in a small lake town in Oklahoma. Friday nights were about football. Weekends we were swimming in grandma and grandpa's pool.

In middle school I started lifting weights because I had a goal: make the football team. 100 pounds was mom's prerequisite. Growing up in sports, I learned what it looks like when someone is truly invested in helping you reach a goal.

I also grew up around healthcare — grandpa and uncle were surgeons, another uncle a family physician, my aunt a chiropractor. Where I ended up makes a lot of sense.

After graduating from the University of Oklahoma, I went to Parker University in Dallas to pursue my Doctorate of Chiropractic.

During chiropractic school, I developed back pain. A professor told me to stop running, stop lifting, and accept that those goals were behind me. I was 24. Luckily, another professor saw it differently. My goals were still completely realistic, I just had to be smarter with my approach. Once I learned to build smarter, I was able to bounce back and I still squat heavy and run regularly.

When it comes to reaching your goals it helps to have someone in your corner who believes in you and knows how to help you reach them. That's what I've tried to build at Optimize. One-on-one, start to finish.

Training & credentials

Tools I went looking for, and why.

Everything here does something specific for the people I work with.

Doctor of Chiropractic Parker University
The foundation. Clinical training in biomechanics, neurology, and manual therapy. Then years of figuring out which parts of that training actually help people get where they want to go.
QSM3 Upper Cervical Quantum Spinal Mechanics
Precise, low-force work that affects the whole system. QSM3 keeps the nervous system running well, which means your body actually responds to the training and programming we're doing together. It's the foundation everything else builds on.
Pain Neuroscience Education PNE
This changed how I practice more than anything else. Your body sends you signals. Some mean "pay attention," and many just mean "I'm adapting." When people understand how those signals work, they move with more confidence. That's when real progress starts.
TPI Level 1 Titleist Performance Institute
A lot of my clients are golfers who want to play more and play better. TPI gave me the framework to assess how your body moves through the golf swing, identify what's limiting your distance or consistency, and build a specific plan around it. Sport-specific work based on what your body needs.
Progressive Strength Training Ongoing education
This is the biggest piece of what we do. Structured, progressive loading that builds your body up to handle what you're asking it to do, and then some. Strength is how people actually get where they're trying to go and stay there.

When I'm outside the clinic, I'm usually training, enjoying Fancyburg Park with my family, playing golf badly, or trying to convince my friends that how the body works is interesting dinner conversation. I live in Upper Arlington with my wife and daughter and I built this practice to serve people in this community.
