'''Ray Dean Russenberger''' (b. [[1954]]) is an entrepreneur and developer who founded (and later sold) telecommunication companies [[Network Paging]], [[Network USA]] and [[Network Telephone]]. He has been integral to a number of Pensacola real estate developments, most notably the [[Palafox Pier]] project and [[Thiesen Building]] renovation in [[downtown Pensacola]].
Palafox Pier was originally intended to house retail tenants on the ground floor,<ref>"Waterfront idea comes together." ''Pensacola News Journal'', October 10, 1999.</ref> but with the rapid growth of [[Network Telephone]] during construction, Russenberger hinted he would probably use the space for his own company. [[CRA]] director [[Jennifer Fleming]] said at the time, "we don't have anything that specifically says he needs to put retail in those buildings."<ref>"Palafox Pier complex fills quickly." ''Pensacola News Journal'', March 17, 2000.</ref>
