Budcracker Blvd

Jeffrey Cooke, RN — Founder & CEO

Jeffrey Cooke, RN is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Budcracker Blvd, a Brooklyn-born, minority-owned cannabis company dedicated to delivering premium cannabis products with integrity, consistency, and uncompromising quality. With legacy cannabis roots dating back to 1998, Jeffrey has transformed decades of industry knowledge into a modern, compliant company serving New York's regulated cannabis market.

What sets Jeffrey apart is his rare combination of healthcare leadership, entrepreneurial vision, and operational expertise. A Registered Nurse with more than 20 years of clinical and executive experience, he spent over a decade in nursing leadership at Lenox Hill Hospital, where he led clinical operations, managed multidisciplinary teams, and championed patient safety, quality improvement, and organizational excellence. Those experiences shaped the leadership philosophy he brings to Budcracker Blvd—one built on discipline, accountability, precision, and trust.

Jeffrey founded Budcracker Blvd with a vision that reaches far beyond selling cannabis. His mission is to build one of New York's most respected independent cannabis companies by setting a higher standard for quality, professionalism, and reliability. Through premium indoor flower, sungrown cultivation partnerships, processing, branding, and distribution, Budcracker Blvd is committed to delivering exceptional products while cultivating long-term relationships with retailers, cultivators, and consumers alike.

As New York's legal cannabis industry continues to evolve, Jeffrey believes the companies that endure will be those built on authenticity, operational excellence, and an unwavering commitment to compliance. Under his leadership, Budcracker Blvd has positioned itself as more than a cannabis brand—it is a company focused on building infrastructure, expanding strategic partnerships, and creating sustainable growth while remaining true to its core values.

Beyond business, Jeffrey is passionate about creating opportunities for others. As a minority entrepreneur, he is committed to empowering independent operators, supporting local communities, and helping shape a cannabis industry that is innovative, inclusive, and built to last. He believes success is measured not only by financial performance, but also by the positive impact a company has on the people and communities it serves.

From leading healthcare teams to building an emerging cannabis enterprise, Jeffrey's career reflects a lifelong commitment to leadership, service, and innovation. He continues to demonstrate that the principles learned in healthcare—integrity, accountability, compassion, and excellence—are equally essential to building a trusted and successful cannabis company.

Today, Jeffrey's vision for Budcracker Blvd extends beyond New York. He is building a brand recognized for premium quality, operational excellence, and authentic leadership, while laying the foundation for long-term growth and lasting influence within the cannabis industry.

Budcracker Blvd is more than a cannabis company—it is a commitment to quality, authenticity, and a legacy built on trust.
