TPM Episode 04: Jason Levinthal, Owner J Skis

Jason Levinthal has been a visionary in the ski industry for over 20 years. He's know for brand building genius, blue-collar work ethic and keeping his finger on the pulse of tomorrow. He started the revolutionary ski company, Line Skis, out of his parent's garage and eventually was forced to sell his baby (while still managing it and other brands) to The Jarden Corporation. Jason's entrepreneurial spirit and passion for timely innovation led him to leave the comfort of his corporate check and start again from scratch with J Skis.
