HISTORY:
Jamie began log rolling at the age of 4. It's a family tradition dating back to the 1930's when his grandpa Harold learned it from the lumberjacks in the area.
The Fischer family is currently the largest lumberjack family in the world with aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings all participating. Jamie's dad, Jim, won a Men's Log Rolling World Title in 1972 and Jamie won his first title 31 years later.
His grandpa had 14 world titles to his name! Jamie also holds the World Record in Boom Running with a time of 12.47.
Jamie serves on the ILRA executive board (overseeing log rolling throughout the world) and is a log supplier (one of only a few in the world), tournament director, competitor, and log rolling coach.
Jamie started a log rolling school for kids at the Hudson, WI YMCA sending dozens of rollers to the world championships over the years. Jamie currently attends graduate school at the University of Minnesota working on his master's degree in elementary education.
He also operates a business that organizes lumberjack competitions between colleges.
