Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Jason Sardo is the founder of Performance Through Balance™, a coaching practice built to help leaders sustain peak performance without burning out. His path has been anything but ordinary—serving as in the U.S. Secret Service, competing as a professional poker player, founding a cybersecurity startup, and leading enterprise sales teams. Across each of these high-pressure arenas, Jason learned firsthand how resilience, clarity, and balance drive true success.

When he’s not coaching executives and entrepreneurs, Jason can be found on the pickleball court, diving into performance science, or at the poker table sharpening the same mental edge he teaches his clients. He still calls Buffalo home at heart, but his work has taken him nationwide, helping leaders conquer self-doubt, regain confidence, and create sustainable systems for both business and life.

Through Performance Through Balance™, Jason combines research-backed coaching methodologies with real-world tools like the Oura Ring to deliver measurable improvements in energy, decision-making, and leadership. His mission is simple: to help high performers live and lead at their best—without sacrificing what matters most.
