AJ ROBERTS

AJ Roberts grew up in Southampton, England, and moved to the United States to pursue a college basketball scholarship when he was 16. He attended the University of Idaho, where he volunteered in the weight room and began training and competing in powerlifting with all-time squat record holder Brent Mikesell. These experiences eventually led AJ to move to Columbus, Ohio, to train at Westside full-time. His best-equipped total to date is a 2855-pound total with a 1205 squat, 910 bench, and 815 deadlift.

AJ is the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at Genesis Digital. As CRO, he's responsible for integrating and aligning all revenue-related areas, including marketing, sales, and customer success.
