Todd Richards is a pro snowboarder, action sports commentator, podcaster and entrepreneur. Todd grew up in Paxton, Massachusetts and got into skateboarding and punk rock. Skating was one of the first things Todd was passionate about and he could see progression happening and that was the backbone for everything.
Snowboarding came along initially as something to do in the winter months when the vert ramps got too icy to skate. A friend introduced him to competing right at the time when the birth of snowboard halfpipes started. The rest is history. Todd went on to win multiple X Games medals, two U.S. Open halfpipe titles and was on the first ever US Halfpipe Team at the Winter Olympics in 98.
Nowadays Richards hosts the Monday M.A.S.S podcast with friend Chris Cote, commentates on various skateboarding, snowboarding and action sports events such as Dew Tour, Jackalope Festival and the Olympics for NBC. Works with Quiksilver on Marketing, is part of The Sports Management Mastermind and has a number of investment ventures.
Tune in to find out about how Todd got into snowboarding, what it was like competing in snowboarding's Olympic debut. His career change to becoming a sports commentator and host, preserving snowboarding's culture plus loads more.
