About Our Founder

1-editApproximately ten years ago, Garren James put everything into an idea he came up with when his then-girlfriend showed him the rope of her business, one of the largest female escort services. It was during this experience, he noticed an untapped market within the entertainment and escort industries: a straight male escort agency exclusively for female clientele. After extensive research, Garren learned there were no other agencies like the one he envisioned, in the United States, specifically a service which would truly cater to the female clientele: what is important to her, how she feels, what makes her happy, all the while remaining true to his desire to create a company which honored a woman’s choice to be treated with respect, care and most of all to have fun!

One decade later, Garren is the owner of the world’s largest straight male escort agency, and the insurmountable success which blossomed from that fateful idea years ago, continues to pleasantly surprise him. While the company experienced a gradual upward momentum, gaining approximately one client per week in the first year of operation, Garren and the agency became an overnight sensation following his appearance on “The Tyra Banks Show” in 2008. Immediately following the interview, Cowboys4Angels earned a spot in the top 10 Google-searched sites in the nation and that was only the beginning of the exponential growth the agency would undergo! Within the first year, the Cowboys4Angels website had only a few hundred views per month, yet the agency experienced a record year of sales and website views in 2014, with some months having well over 100,000 website visitors!  As a result of continued media exposure, superior-quality service, high rate of client satisfaction, and substantial repeat clientele, Cowboys4Angels continues to experience unbelievable growth.

Cowboys4Angels has been a hot topic among press since first Agentgaining recognition, with Garren making appearance solo and with some of his elite male escorts on The Dr. Phil Show, 20/20, Night Line News, The Joy Behar Show, NatGeo Taboo and more. In addition, Garren and the agency has been featured in Playgirl, Glamour, Sheen, Hustler and Esquire Magazines.  Yet, most notably, the agency has been the basis for and starring in Showtime’s hit series, “Gigolos,” which recently finished airing its sixth season, with the seventh season set to begin filming in the coming months.  The show, which is set in Las Vegas and provides a fictionalized portrayal of the life of the male escorts, while showcasing actual cowboys employed by the agency, started out as an interesting idea and has grown to become one of Showtime’s most watched series, which includes the development of celebrity status for Garren and the escorts featured, all of whom are recognized by female fans throughout the US and abroad.  Actually, among the fans are straight men, including a group of ten firefighters who approached Garren at the airport in New York City and told him they watch the show at the station together every week, in an effort to improve their romancing skills!

Garren-plad1Although before he became the prosperous owner of an innovative and thriving business, Garren attended college on a football scholarship and earned a Bachelor’s Degree with a double major in Sociology and Psychology, shortly followed by being scouted by an agency to work as a professional international runway and print model. Garren’s work in the modeling world brought him in contact with the most attractive men in the world, who he would always exchange notes on what women wanted and desired, preparing him in conjunction with his academic career, for starting his illustrious agency, armed with specific knowledge and insight , particularly what heterosexual women want: a perfect gentleman. Therein lies the crux of the criteria he strictly follows when hiring cowboys, so as to always offer the most elite straight male escorts possible, as the men of Cowbys4Angels are selected for their warmth, appearance, intelligence, humor and charm. The agency offers something a countless number of straight women are in search of, exclusive male companionship, with no strings attached.

Cowboys4Angels has become so popular, it has had over 20,000 employment requests since its inception, however reinforcing the “elite” concept, only represents approximately 100 men across the country, including those whom appear on “Gigolos”.  So, what really makes the escorts selected the cream of the crop? Why not put thousands of attractive men on the website and let clients make a choice?  Garren never wanted to be a “factory” or “wholesale” type of escort agency, because he knew that with a smaller, diverse, hand-picked chosen few, lady onlookers would crave an entirely new kind of box of chocolates. Garren knew there had never been such high-caliber options right at the fingertips of his female clientele, whom were not just a pretty face and a nice body, but were well-educated, cultured, sophisticated, excellent conversationalists, and most of all, would treat the clients like an angel, for her choice of activity and length of time, such as two hours, overnight, or even a week. All of Garren’s meticulous work makes for tireless efforts, long hours and late nights, yet his repeat clientele account for the majority of business, so he must be doing something right!  Garren has an industry reputation, on average, for turning away up to 99% of his employment applicants, due to the vast majority of men being unable to measure up to his standards, in order to uphold the type of quality service rendered, for example, when a woman books a male companion from Cowboys4Angels, whether it’s an elegant dinner date with the man of her dreams, or if she simply wants to escape for a while and be pampered, Cowboys4Angels prides itself as being able to fulfill her dreams and expectations.

Do you want to know who fits the bill? The elite cowboys must be at least 21 years old, however Garren finds that the most successful men are between the ages of 25 and 35. The men usually come from professional backgrounds, especially the modeling industry, and they must be proficient in making a woman feel safe and relaxed. The escorts also are required to be of a high level of physical attractiveness, dedicated to fitness, presentable, well-groomed, stylish, charming, confident but not arrogant, somewhat innocent yet savvy, emotionally mature, stable and possess a genuine respect for women. There, in black and white, is a considerable amount of the recipe for success Garren James grew his empire on, and through his humility, perseverance, and fortitude, will continue to cultivate his craft enabling consistent progression for years to come.
