One of my life-long hobbies has been skiing. I’ve been on the slopes for as long as I can remember, and over the years, I’ve gone through several sets of skis myself. Over the accumulated months that I’ve spent on the slopes in my life, I have found that skiing park was where I found the most joy. Unfortunately, not many ski companies/ manufacturers make skis specifically dedicated to park, and when they make, their selection is usually quite slim. That’s how I found out about Surface skis. They are a company dedicated to making skis with the sole purpose of hitting big air, terrain parks, rails, and everything in-between. CEO, serial entrepreneur, and founder, Michael Schneider has made a company dedicated to hard-core and experienced skiers. He has built all of his brands from the ground up. Michael has over a decade of experience in global trade, offshore and domestic product sourcing, line plan management, sales management, trade shows, photography, and social media marketing guru. He solved the problem that many skiers like me face, wondering if the product they are buying will be reliable, safe, or sturdy. Surface skis have just broken the surface, and I am beyond excited to see where this fantastic company will go.

RJ Scaringe is the founder and CEO of Rivian Automotive. Rivian is defined as a company focused on developing an integrated portfolio of products and services to advance the shift to sustainable mobility. Scaringe has his Master of Science and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. In 2009, Scaringe started this company Rivian. In 2020, the production of there two electric vehicles will begin. The two vehicles have potential to disrupt the automobile industry.
The vehicles are an SUV and a truck. The vehicles will be available in many battery sizes that will dictate the specs of that vehicle. For example, the R1T (truck) will have 402 horsepower, 240 mile range, and go 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds with the 105 kWh battery; while the 180 kWh battery will be 700 horsepower, 400 mile range, and go 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds. I personally love the truck. It looks very modern and has a very beautiful interior. The truck boasts many places for storage that will benefit the driver greatly. I feel this vehicles will disrupt the industry when they are released. The vehicles are built on a “skateboard” chassis. This chassis is something I have never seen before and it is truly beautiful. I feel that this company will be very successful behind RJ Scaringe’s entrepreneurial thinking.
