Brian Ripka is either the CEO or at least a partner in this venture.

Yes, they do say on the website that he is president.

And I should add that I recently purchased two Yurman items from this site and they were about 40% off retail.

Brian has been involved with this company for years. I purchased from them at least 2 years ago and spoke with a gentleman named Eric who mentioned that. They always have Ripka.

The company was called Sweepstreet back then.
