Rick E. Bruner

Rick E. Bruner, co-founder of Budapest Week and its editor for much of 1991-1993, presently lives in New York City.

In 1996, he and his lovely bride Adrienne Haspel moved to San Francisco, where he jumped on the whole Internet bandwagon. He wrote a book titled Net Results: Web Marketing That Works (and its second-edition version), off the back of which he began calling himself an Internet marketing consultant. (Dork Zygotian, always straight to the point, prefers to call him a "bullshitologist.")

After four years in San Francisco, Rick and Adrienne moved to Manhattan just in time for the Internet crash and economic recession. Miraculously, he has been able to continue working as an Internet marketing consultant without having been forced to live under a bridge (though at times it has been close). He operates his consulting business under the name Executive Summary Consulting. An incurable entrepreneur, he also co-founded MarketingWonk, a site devoted to Internet marketing news stuff. His greatest passion in life, however, is the Bruner Blog, where it's "All Bruner, All the Time," meaning no dealing with pesky publishers, production people, freelancers or others who would thwart his any wish.
