Jake Bronstein (born June 13, 1978), is best known for being one of the founding editors of FHM Magazine - US edition, but this wasn't his first media experience, nor would it be his last. At 18, he was cast for the popular MTV TV show Road Rules. At 20, he wrote his first feature for Maxim Magazine. At 21 he signed on for FHM, but took a brief break a few years later to co-host G4 Tech TV's Video Game Vixens. His tenure at FHM came to abrupt end when he was let go for making off-handed remarks about Howard Stern's girlfriend Beth Ostrosky.

Other highlights include his bizarre public stunts, such as bathing in Bryant Park Fountain [ [http://gawker.com/news/culture/do-you-ever-feel-notsofresh-107324.php Do You Ever Feel Not-So-Fresh?, 2005-06-10] ] , utilizing a loophole to get into the NBA draft [ [(http://www.maximonline.com/articles/index.aspx?a_id=1156 Draft Dodger] ] , eBaying the lead singer position in his band [ [http://www.thedailyswarm.com/swarm/new-way-sell-out-rock-band-puts-itself-ebay/ Update: Is eBay band the latest Jake Bronstein stunt?, 2007-09-27] ] , offering himself for marriage [ [http://gawker.com/news/sex/remainders-see-the-ring-before-you-decide-115912.php See The Ring Before You Decide, Gawker, 2005-08-04] ] , and freeing a fish into New York's East River. He also wrote a book about sex under the alias "Allen Jake Bronstein" [ [http://search.barnesandnoble.com/bookSearch/results.asp?ATH=Allen+Jake+Bronstein Sex Drive : Fantasies in Flesh and Steel] ]

His love life on the other hand, has not gone quite so well. His first romance was played out on-screen when he fell for Kalle Dedolph during taping of Road Rules, but ended shortly after [ [http://www.angelfire.com/la/roadrules/rr4chat.html Road Rules 4 chat ] ] . He offered himself for marriage, documented his sex life for Glamour [ [http://gawker.com/news/jake-bronstein/jake-bronstein-will-kiss-your-feet-nail-you-229289.php Bronstein Will Kiss Your Feet, Nail You] ] and when all else failed tried to launch a 50 Dates in 50 States quest by soliciting invites from women on the web [ [http://www.jakebronstein.com/50dates/ Jake Bronstein 50 Dates] ] .

Most recently, he's put these stills to use as a marketer, and on his latest blog [http://zoomdoggle.com Zoomdoggle] .

Zoomdoggle

Zoomdoggle is "a blagazine built on a platform of fun." Ultimately, its purpose is to remind adults of fun – what it is and how to have it – through "doggles". Simply put, a "doggle" is defined as the simple pursuit of fun for fun's sake, and a "doggler" is anyone who actively pursues the idea of having fun, as personified by Zoomdoggle's founder and figure-head Jake Bronstein.
