He was a member of the United States men's national artistic gymnastics team and won two silver medals in gymnastics at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

As a gymnast, Jochim was a member of Swiss Turnverein in Union City, New Jersey. He won seven titles at the national level, the last one in 1933. He held the American record for most individual titles until Simone Biles won her eighth national title in 2023.
