MEET YOUR Coach
Hi, I'm Pete!
I am a former Special Education teacher who has experienced the benefits of a balanced approach to nutrition and fitness. Over the years I have tried all the different fads, “bro science” and nutrition “hacks” with little to no progress, but through years of studying nutrition and fitness I have learned to live a realistic healthy lifestyle. I have learned how to build muscle and boost the metabolism so that I am able to eat more food without gaining body fat. I want to help guide others on their journey so they don’t waste time following bad advice like I did.
My goal is to use my skills from public education to help teach clients how to reach their goals and maintain progress in a sustainable way—without restrictive diets or "insane" workouts. I believe you can enjoy the foods you love while making healthy choices. By incorporating principles from Behavioral Psychology, I support clients in making lasting, lifelong changes.

Back to Basics
This is the Way
The philosophy behind Meat & Potatoes Coaching is to simplify nutrition by focusing on wholesome, natural foods and gradual, manageable changes. Rather than relying on restrictive diets or exotic ingredients, this approach encourages clients to reconnect with basic, unprocessed foods—akin to how previous generations cooked. With so many processed and hyper-palatable foods readily available, it’s easy to lose sight of simpler, healthier choices. Meat & Potatoes Coaching is about helping clients build lifelong, sustainable habits through small, incremental adjustments that align with their personal tastes and everyday lifestyle, making lasting health changes achievable without feeling deprived.

Testimonials
I started training with Jake and the IEP team in 2023 and initially knew their approach to movement, training and performance was on a whole different level. No one in the LE or Mil training world was addressing this critical need in the way they do. The IEP team has the education, experience and individual hard skills to enhance any individual or departments training program. The practical performance based approach is something I support 100%. The way they address not only performance but combine it with individual hard skills is something that anyone can benefit from. I’ve been using their methods and programming in my own training and am extremely happy with the improvements I continue to make.
Matt Pranka
Xray Alpha LLC
I’ve trained with hundreds of instructors from all over the world, seen what they bring to the table, and while there are many good ones, Jake and the crew from IEP have truly found a niche that was lacking and filled it with solid knowledge. Despite being at the pinnacle of their craft, they’re still pushing their own growth and constantly evolving new ideas, drills, and training strategies... Plus, they’re just good dudes.
Joe Farewell
Instructor/Professional Shooter
Even having been athletic all my life and playing on a nationally ranked college lacrosse team, there were still many valuable pointers, tips, and lessons to be learned while working with Jake at In Extremis Performance. Regardless of your previous athletic experience, it’s well worth attending a course and tapping into their expertise on the topic of movement with a rifle or handgun.

IEP provides a unique framework for firearms and tactical mobility training. Their top notch instructors are able to effectively and efficiently show the correlation between efficient movement and effective firearm performance. I highly recommend this training to all law enforcement officers.
Dan Colasanto
Persident, TTPOA
Jake has been working diligently to bring the training industry something it’s never seen before and it’s very interesting. Instead of a shooting coach that can move, he’s a movement coach that can shoot. And I love it.
Mark Smith
JBS Training Solutions
The guys at In Extremis Performance understand efficiency and movement from a high level. If you are serious about improving your skill set with not only shooting, but in any athletic endeavor. I highly recommend training with In Extremis Performance.

TESTIMONIALS
What clients are saying
"Taught me how to make balanced, healthy choices without feeling restricted"
Working with Pete was a very positive experience. Before starting, I struggled with poor eating habits and lacked clarity about what my body truly needed. Pete took the time to understand my goals, lifestyle, and challenges and created a personalized plan that felt sustainable and empowering. He also met with me weekly to discuss this plan, how I was progressing and what improvements I had seen. He taught me how to make balanced, healthy choices without feeling restricted. I highly recommend Pete to anyone looking to improve their relationship with food and achieve lasting health.
