Write Your Story with Us®

“Write Your Story with Us®” is more than a slogan—it’s the heart of our brand.

We don’t say it lightly. We say it with deep respect for the many people who choose to gift our pens or carry them daily, allowing us to become part of their most meaningful moments.

Recently, someone asked us to engrave the initials of a family member who had passed, creating a daily-use keepsake to honor and remember a life deeply loved. That moment reminded us again: it’s not just about making a product—it’s about being trusted to be part of someone’s story.

From war heroes using our pens to write mission-critical intel or love notes from halfway around the world, to families commemorating loss or celebrating milestones, we are honored each time someone chooses us.

Writing has always been a personal outlet for me. Seeing that passion grow into a daily part of my life and work is a reminder of how intentionally God moves—planting desires early on that, if nurtured, can become your purpose. One that not only sustains a living but brings joy and fulfillment through the journey.

Lee founded the company before we knew each other, and looking back now, it’s amazing to see how every step was woven together. With decades of experience as a journeyman tool and die maker, he left the safety of corporate life to pursue something bigger. From running a CNC machine shop to helping makers bring prototypes to life, he’s spent years refining a craft that now leads others and drives innovation.

We’re not the only ones doing this work—but we can confidently say you won’t find a husband-and-wife team more passionate, more dedicated, or more hands-on than we are. We’ve trademarked many of our products because we believe in backing up our vision with action, and putting your money where your mouth is. 

That’s why we’re proud to be America’s Pen®—and why we truly treasure each one of you who chooses to Write Your Story with Us®.

With love and gratitude,
Lee & Liz Nottingham
