Timeline
Jake Burton Carpenter was a member of the Vermont Sports Hall of Fame. Carpenter survived several health scares in his later years: knee injuries, testicular cancer, pulmonary embolism, and, notably, the Miller Fisher variant of Guillain–Barré syndrome, a rare and serious neurological disorder. Carpenter died November 20, 2019, in Burlington, Vermont, after announcing re-occurrence of his cancer to Burton staff earlier in the month.
By 1985, Jake and his wife Donna would move to Austria to create a European base and Donna focused on the distribution arm. Then a little over 4 years later they had their first child, George Burton Carpenter in Rutland, Vermont. Then their second son, Taylor Gaston Burton Carpenter was born in Burlington, and their third son, Timi Eaton Burton Carpenter was born in 1996.

After college, Carpenter spent a short time working for a small investment banking firm in Manhattan before he grew tired of the 12 hours work days he felt the call to return to the slopes . Working from a barn in Londonderry, Vermont, he improved on the Snurfer, a basic toy snowboard which featured a rope to allow the rider some basic control over the board. In his interview with NPR's "How I Built This" when he first went out to sell his snowboards, he said “I remember once going out with 38 snowboards, visiting dealers in New York State, and came back with 40 because one guy gave me two back he had bought.” By the late-1970s, he joined a small cadre of manufacturers who had begun selling snowboards with design features such as a bentwood laminate core and a rigid binding which held the board firmly to the wearer's boot. In 1979, Jake Burton won the Open Division and a $300 prize at the National Snurfing Contest in Muskegon, Michigan. Burton is credited with developing the economic ecosystem around snowboarding as a lifestyle, sport, and culture, in addition to premier board manufacturer. Burton has been one of the world's largest snowboard and snowboarding-equipment manufacturers since the late 1980s.
