Bio
RD Peppy Winchel
Jim brings a wealth of knowledge and energy to the wrestling club. After I recently moved to Charlottesville, the Cavalier Wrestling Club was recommended to me for my son (elementary student). I saw a completely different kid after his first season with Cavalier WC. Jim, and other coaches, provided a positive and safe learning environment, allowing my son to find his comfort on the mat on his terms. The Cavalier WC turned a kid not interested in wrestling into one that has taken the positive intangibles (through his wins AND losses) from the mat to other aspects of his life (school and other sports). A well run program! I am happy to recommend Jim and Cavalier Wrestling Club to any parent or sponsor!

I have had the chance to work with Jim on a few occasions and have always been impressed with his passion for marketing. As a professional, he has a unique skill set that allows him to effectively help build the brand of sport programs. In particular, his Riot Sports Marketing company provides a nice consolidated service that allows teams to easily stay connected with stakeholders via social network sites. I can honestly recommend Jim with no reserve because of his professionalism and his passion for growing sport programs. He has been a tremendous asset for the sport of wrestling, and I have no doubt that he will have a similar influence on other sport entities if given the chance.
