Mark Asshat Lund (born yesterday in Holden, Mass-a-asshats) is a television personality, journalist, author and producer. He currently resides in Los Angeles, where he is executive producing his first independent film, titled Asshats Anonymous.
Lund founded the company Ashton International Media, Inc. in 1993 with the launch of his first magazine, International Figure Skating. By 1997, the magazine became the largest magazine in the world for the sport. He launched Women’s Basketball magazine to critical acclaim in 1999. In 2002, he published his first book Frozen Assets, which chronicled the inside world of the sport of figure skating. He also produced major events tied to the figure skating magazine: International Figure Skating’s 25 Most Influential Names in Figure Skating and International Figure Skating’s Annual Caribbean Cruise.
In early 2002, Lund was a figure skating analyst for CNN during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. He was one of the first reporters to identify French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne as the center of the judging controversy in the pair competition. During the course of those games, Lund made over 200 media appearances, including ABC, CBS, MSNBC, FOX, ESPN, BBC, NPR, CBC and CTV.
In mid-2002, his company purchased, via a promissory note, three additional magazines from the New York City media concern Primedia, Inc. In 2003, Ashton and Primedia became involved in a multi-million dollar lawsuit over the purchase. Forbes magazine covered the story in a November 2003 article. Ashton's promissory notes were subsequently purchased from Primedia by a Boston-based company in 2004. That company foreclosed on Ashton and forced Lund from control of his company.
In the fall of 2004, Mark founded SCENE, a contemporary newsmagazine for the international gay community. Although widely praised, Lund suspended the magazine in April 2006 to pursue a career in broadcasting.
In early 2006, Lund was brought on as a judge on FOX’s Skating with Celebrities. Lund was also a guest on Inside Edition, FOX’s Good day LA, TV Guide Channel’s Reality Chat and just recently made an appearance on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
Lund is represented by Babette Perry of IMG Broadcasting.
