Brian and Rachel Goulet co-founded The Goulet Pen Company in 2007. Their mission is to provide fountain pen enthusiasts with the most personal online shopping experience through comprehensive education, exemplary service, and products.

The Goulet Pen Company originally began as a hobby in 2007. After making over 800 custom rollerball pens, Brian took an interest in fountain pens after attending the DC Fountain Pen Supershow in 2009.

In late 2009, they decided to expand from writing instruments to enhancing the overall writing experience. From making pens, they went on to make notebooks, planners, stationery, cleaning supplies, and much more.

Brian grew up in an entrepreneurial family with military experience and a degree in residential property management. He aspires to become a globally recognized retailing firm through a business, and he’s presently in charge of more than 20 employees on his team.

Rachel, his wife, joined the company seven years ago with nothing more than a concept and a website. She is in charge of establishing infrastructure, connecting the dots, and developing scalable systems.

This company was formed to give a personalized level of service via an internet platform, which has never been done before in the writing industry. The Goulet Pen Company has built a devoted following by providing high-quality items at reasonable pricing and exceptional customer service.
