014 - Leland Carlson - Celebrating the Ordinary

Leland Carson is a 77-year-old retired tax attorney who founded the club for men who like ordinary things. The idea came to him in a New York Athletic Club bar. He and a group of men were looking at the club’s monthly magazine. The pages were filled with boxing, judo, skiing, sailing, and other exciting adventures.

Carson and his friends didn’t do any of those things. They confessed to being rather dull. So, they decided to start a club-within-a-club, and a new movement was born.

The Dull Men’s Club now has hundreds of members worldwide. Some collect airsickness bags. Others collect bricks. Some spend their days photographing mailboxes. And others just roam around sitting on benches.

Leland splits his time between his home in Nebraska, England, and Washington, DC.
