SNOWBOARDING
At the age of 8, Jack strapped into a snowboard and that moment changed the course of his life forever. Riding professionally for the last 8 years, Jack's snowboard has given him the opportunity to see the world alongside his best frends, compete in the top international snowboarding competitions, and co-create a community around people who share a love for what the culture of snowboarding stands for: good times, freedom, and endless progression on and off the board. For the last 5 years, Jack and his frends sparked an iconic movement in snowboarding where community and "frendship" was more important than self -- with their motto being "there's no I in frends".
HOSTING + PERSONALITY
Now you will find Jack hosting snowboarding contests and industry award shows around the world, as well as in web series and TV appearances for networks like ESPN and NBC. In addition to his unmistakable sense of humor, when Jack’s in the booth at an event, he’s interviewing his best frends and that kind of authenticity just can’t be duplicated. As a professional athlete and expert content creator, his firsthand experience and social media interactivity make him a fan-favorite on air.

THE FRENDS CREW
"Frends" is a crew of snowboarders who all share common mindsets. Though each has their individual personalities, they all are bound together by the common interest of snowboarding, music, partying, having a good time, and trying to keep the world informed that life is better with your when shared together.
Frends started out as just a crew. Since they've had a lot of fun making videos and making a website, they decided it was time to get into their next venture. After battling about what to make, they came to the realization that music is one of the biggest influences in their lives. So they are stepping outside of the snowboarding world and into the business world. See that they listen to music on the hill, off the hill, on the plane, in the car, and basically any chance they can, headphones made perfect sense.
