Mission

Our Team

  • Jason McKenzie, CEO

  • Jill Moylan, Chief Culture Officer

    She received her B.S. in Business Administration from Old Dominion University. Her favorite activities include spending time with her family, hiking, reading, learning new things, and spending time at her daughter’s gymnastics classes. She came to the Latitude team in 2021 when looking for a career that she would love, and hasn’t looked back! If you are looking to share beta, your new favorite book, or just chat, come say hi! She can be found in all the Latitude locations.

  • Alieza Compton, General Manager

    My climbing journey began in early 2019 when I joined Latitude as a member. I quickly fell in love with this amazing community and have now been a part of the Team since late 2019. I’ve worked as a front desk staff, youth coach, route setter, and at multiple levels of management! I’ve gained a strong support system through all the amazing members (and now friends) I’ve made. The encouragement and guidance I’ve received has gotten me to where I am today as a climber and a Leader at Latitude. The best part of working for Latitude is watching new climbers fall in love with this sport and seeing how strong they become! If you see me around the gym don’t hesitate to say hello or ask me any questions!

  • Travis Riegle, Director of Routesetting

  • Matt Marshall, Head Setter (VB+NFK)

    I was born and raised here in Virginia Beach, and graduated from Old Dominion University in 2020. Climbing has been my passion for years and as a setter, I love to watch people learn to climb. I strive to create challenging problems for advanced climbers and approachable climbs for newbies. Don’t be afraid to let me know how my team is doing!
