Terrapin Care Station - Folsom St. - Boulder

Founded in 2009 in Boulder, Colo., Terrapin Care Station is a consumer-focused cultivator, processor and provider of high-quality medical and retail cannabis products, with some of the most competitive prices on the market. The company leads the industry in corporate responsibility, developing one of the most comprehensive cannabis training programs for its staff of nearly 250.

Boulder, Colo.-based national cannabis company Terrapin Care Station has become one of the most influential companies in the industry thanks to leadership from founder Chris Woods.

Mr. Woods, who graduated from Pennsylvania State University, ran competitive track for Penn State. He continued his education with graduate studies in applied math at the University of Colorado Boulder. During his tenure at CU, he was a teaching assistant.

The competitive discipline gained from track and the leadership learned from teaching proved invaluable as Mr. Woods took the reins of his father’s real estate company in 2007. He did so before graduating from CU in 2009. Mr. Woods managed the construction of a 50-unit tract of low-income housing during his time in real estate. The knowledge of land use and community development gained from this experience proved critical as Mr. Woods explored entrepreneurial opportunities in the cannabis industry.

Mr. Woods’ unique skill set has allowed him to self-finance the organic growth of Terrapin Care Station, which now has operations in Colorado, Oregon and Pennsylvania. TCS is also exploring other national opportunities.

Mr. Woods lives in Boulder and continues to run recreationally. He is also an avid skier and downhill mountain bike and skydiving enthusiast.
