Dear Brown Boy LLC was founded in August 2021 by Queens, NY native Gavin Bennett. He is a proud product of NYC public schools holding a B.A. in English from St. Lawrence University and an MBA from CUNY Baruch. After more than a decade working in financial services he decided it was time to share some of the lessons he’d learned ranging from dressing for success to social interactions. The former spoken word poet founded Dear Brown Boy LLC as a letter to his younger self about the importance of etiquette and the role it has played in creating opportunities outside of formal education. Gent Gems combine poetry and etiquette, creating fun and interactive ways to impart life lessons to the next generation of gentleman. It’s always a good day to be a gent!
