JAY BERNARDI - CHIEF BUSINESS OFFICER

Jay Bernardi brings a wealth of experience in entrepreneurship and skiing history to the company.

Growing up in the 1970s in South Lake Tahoe, Jay skied at Heavenly Valley and was a member of the Heavenly Valley Blue Angels race team. He later transitioned to freestyle skiing, training alongside early innovators such as John Clendenin and Bill O’Leary in the Lake Tahoe area.

As an entrepreneur, Jay founded San Jose Yamaha in San Jose, California, running the business from 1994 to 2005. Under his leadership, the dealership rose from 40th to 3rd in its district before its sale in 2005. During this time, he actively competed in motocross and jet ski racing, qualifying for and competing in the World Finals in Lake Havasu in 1998.

In 2005, Jay relocated to Palm Desert, California, to take over his family’s business, Dels Flooring. He transformed it into the Coachella Valley’s largest commercial flooring company. Today, the business is led by his son, who coincidentally attended high school with Nick Foster, ensuring its continuation into the third generation.

Jay is now dedicated to advancing NLP/ShredShox, driving innovation to revolutionize the future of alpine skiing.
