Gary Brown, a retired U.S. Navy veteran and federal civil servant, has embarked on a remarkable journey from the neighborhoods of Trenton, New Jersey, to destinations worldwide. This journey has profoundly shaped his perspective on life, leadership, and faith. After dedicating over 24 years to the Navy, followed by a 15-year career in civilian government, Gary embraced writing as a personal outlet and a powerful means to inspire others.

He has created a diverse array of activities and storybooks for children and adults, including coloring books, poetry collections, faith-based devotionals, and word games. Each of these works is designed to promote creativity, well-being, and intergenerational connections, and Gary invites you to explore them.

In retirement, Gary continues to write and reflect, finding joy in family, friendship, creativity, and his relationship with God. He is a firm believer that humility and faith are the cornerstones of a well-lived life, and he hopes to inspire others with this belief.

 In March 2023, Gary established PleaseLetThemKnow, L.L.C., a heartfelt independent publishing company rooted in his desire to share diverse narratives and creative endeavors. The mission of this initiative is to promote thoughtful storytelling, emotional wellness, and the transformative power of faith.
