ORIGIN
BestInMen was conceived and created by two college brothers, Blake and Dane Bartkiewicz, with the help of their father, Army combat Veteran Drew Bartkiewicz. They recognized that many young men in America were in crisis and acknowledged the growing reality that men often don’t ask other men for help, at any age.
They created BestInMen at first to speak for “the Menority,” the silent men being overlooked, and after developing the plan they realized that true masculinity in the connected world needed a deeper and more mindful understanding.
The values of the BestInMen brand are to not only help good men rise, but to also recognize the contributions of men - and masculine qualities - throughout history. Come Memorial Day 2019, the BestInMen brand will also design and distribute a powerful series of designs to recognize and reaffirm the contributions of brave men in the military and first responders. BestInMen is backed by Veteran Venture Studio, Patriapps, where Bartkiewicz is the CEO.
The brand is forming the BestInMen Club to invite men of all ages to be part of creative process for goods and experiences that recognize good men rising.
