Prior to joining SNOW Partners, Jeff enjoyed a 21-year career at Burton Snowboards, working up to the position of Global Marketing VP of Sport and Participation. Jeff and his team built many of the innovations that transformed the snowboarding experience with programs such as Learn To Ride, Stash, Academy, Riglet, and Test Ride.
