Richard Nelson Bolles is acknowledged as "America's top career expert" by Modern Maturity magazine, "the one responsible for the renaissance of the career counseling profession in the United States over the past decade" by Money magazine, and "the most widely read and influential leader in the whole career planning field" by the U.S. Law Placement Association.

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 19, 1927, Richard grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey. He served in the U.S. Navy and worked as a messenger on Wall Street before attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University (BS in physics). Bolles also holds a master's degree in New Testament studies from the General Theological Seminary in New York City and has received two honorary doctorates.

In December, 1970, he self-published What Color is Your Parachute? using a local copy shop in downtown San Francisco. The book had its first commercial edition published in November, 1972, by Ten Speed Press. Revised and updated annually since 1975 (rewritten completely in 1992 and 1997), Parachute has been on the New York Times Bestseller list (paperback) over 300 weeks.
