About our Founder, Director and CEO

 

Mr. Ellsworth D. Best is a man of great humility and honor.  He successfully served the U.S. Federal Government for over 35 years at the Department of Justice with the FBI.  The characteristics of that time honored organization only reflected his own, which are Integrity * Honesty * Character * and Respect!  Among many accomplishments and accolades, Mr. Best’s most proud of his service as President of the Security Ministry of a 10,000 member church in Maryland.  While there, and through his guidance, he was blessed to take that ministry from 17 members to well over 104 likeminded people.  He is now retired from both the DOJ / FBI and his Security Ministry and now finds himself beginning a brand new chapter in his life. 

Ellsworth has dedicated his life to teaching, mentoring and actively offers much needed guidance to young boys; boys hoping one day to become strong and productive men.  He greatly enjoys teaching the meaning of what it means to be a real ‘Gentleman’ and how it’s not just something that is done on a part time basis, but, is a way of living one’s life!

Mr. Ellsworth D. Best is now the Founder, Director and CEO, of his own nonprofit organization ~ Gentlemen R Us Inc. (www.GentlemenRus.org).  His vision:  to productively teach young boys in the principles of being a real Gentleman!  What that means is, these boys, after completing the short but rigorous course, will one day themselves be able to successfully pass that knowledge to others.  And, in so doing, these new gentlemen will become major assets within their own families and communities!  Paying it forward and passing it on is the credo held most dear by the organization’s Director: Ellsworth D. Best.
