LeisureSuit Media Founders Jordan Hoffman and Kerry Douglas Dye met in an introductory video class at NYU film school in the early nineties.

That friendship became a business relationship in 1998 when the two men got to talking about the still-immature World Wide Web and realized that neither felt like there was a place on the 'Net where guys like them could feel comfortable. On November 30th, 1998, LeisureSuit.net Webzine, "The Most Comfortable Spot on the 'Net" was born.
Dedicated to being a humorous weekly take on arts, culture, politics, city life, and "guy stuff", LeisureSuit.net started slow, but eventually--as "The Magazine for Guys Like You"--grew to attract over 50,000 readers a month--a small but loyal readership of the young and culturally savvy.
