Jake Slowinski
Tiffany and Jake Slowinski first met at Rutgers University. Once married, the pair settled on Bridgewater, NJ to raise their family. They were sold on the town for many reasons. The schools are amazing and the neighborhoods are quaint, yet still close to tons of shopping, dining and recreation options. Above all else, the people of the town are friendly and welcoming. They can't think of anywhere else in the world that they would rather raise their daughters. They feel blessed to be able to be community connectors and love being able to highlight local residents and businesses in their magazine.
