I’m Jesse Vasquez, a 4x California State Champion and top-ranked NCAA Division I wrestler who has competed at the highest levels of the sport. After completing my degree in Business and Psychology at Arizona State University, I made the decision to step away from collegiate wrestling before the postseason to pursue entrepreneurship and train full-time for the 2028 Olympics.

Denzel Hawkins has been a key figure in my wrestling journey, playing a major role in coaching me to multiple California state titles and helping shape the foundation of JVGold. His leadership, mentorship, and deep understanding of the sport have been instrumental since day one.

A former state champion in football and third-place finisher in wrestling, Denzel brings high-level athletic experience and a proven track record of success. Now coaching at Norco High School, he continues to develop athletes with the same passion, energy, and commitment that helped launch this entire movement.

Michael McGee has been a cornerstone of the JVGold Camp since its inception. A multiple-time NCAA Division I All-American for Arizona State University and a current international competitor, McGee brings elite experience, unmatched intensity, and deep passion for the sport. Beyond the mat, he has played a pivotal role in helping organize and grow these camps from the very beginning. His commitment to giving back and mentoring the next generation has made him one of the most trusted and respected figures in our camp community. Michael's continued presence each year is a reflection of his belief in our mission — to build champions on and off the mat.

Izaiah Quintero is a California state champion and current Division I wrestler at Purdue University, known for his dedication, work ethic, and love for the sport. More than just a talented athlete, Izzy is like a younger brother to me — someone who grew up alongside us, trained with us, and now gives back through this camp.

He’s been a consistent presence at JVGold, serving as a trusted counselor and mentor to younger wrestlers. Izzy leads by example and represents exactly what we hope to instill in the next generation: humility, discipline, and the courage to chase greatness.
