Title: Founder

Company: Steadman Hawkins Clinic

Bio: To say that the clinic he founded in Vail is like an athletic Hall of Fame would be a vast understatement. The list of patients that have gone to the Steadman Hawkins Clinic spans from Joe Montana to Alex Rodriguez, and of course includes Olympic skiing medalists like Bode Miller, Picabo Street, and Julia Mancuso. Dr. Steadman is a pioneer in microfracture surgery, and his clinic has saved the careers of hundreds of professional athletes, who have all been treated with the slopes of the Vail Valley as the backdrop. Countless medals have been won and athletes have been seen on television because of Steadman's handiwork.

Title: Founder

Company: Holden

Bio: Yet one more artist/poet/filmmaker/businessman who could easily be on the athlete list.  Mikey LeBlanc has had an incredible run as one of the most durably relevant figures in snowboarding. Still a top rider, and more prone to video production than video action these days, LeBlanc is also founder of Holden, a very  hip, very core snowboard apparel brand.
