Jason Tesauro minds his manners

If James Bond and Emily Post had a love child, he’d look a lot like Jason. The author of The Modern Gentleman’s Guide to Essential Manners, Savvy, and Vice, Jason puts a contemporary spin on proper behavior. He tackles the rules of romantic entanglement in his second book, The Modern Lover: A Playbook for Suitors, Spouses, and Ringless Carousers. Social graces, Jason insists, equip a man for romance—and for life.  In his Modern Gentleman Seminar Series, held at The Ritz-Carlton, he teaches aspiring D.C. gents to saber a bottle of champagne (above), carve a holiday bird, and compose a tasteful online personal.  “I’m not asking anybody to throw their cape over a puddle. But while you’re being a hipster, can’t you also be polite?” A family guy, Northsider, and James River Writers board member; Jason’s Modern Gentleman radio show debuts on Sirius next month.
