Message from the Publisher
Jake Slowinski
Tiffany and Jake Slowinski first met at Rutgers University. They have lived in Somerset County for over 11 years and can't imagine themselves anywhere else. 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 feel blessed to be able to be community connectors and love being able to highlight local residents and businesses in their magazine.
