This guide is a celebration of the people behind the exceptional local businesses here in Bergen County — entrepreneurs, makers, and artists — who have followed their passions and share a commitment to our community. The pages that follow are an introduction to these individuals, as well as an invitation to learn more about them online.

It is our hope that this book will inspire discovery. We encourage you to browse this guide, display it, share it with family and friends, but most importantly, use it.

Whether you are a lifelong Bergen County resident, a newcomer, or a visitor, we hope that this guide helps you engage with the people in our community on a deeper level.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the locally owned businesses that appear on these pages. Thank you for being a part of the collective that consistently supports one another and for creating an exceptional place like Bergen County to Live. Love. Local. It is an honor to call these business owners friends, and we are proud to celebrate this diverse group of established and new entrepreneurs who are turning their dreams into reality. Be sure to follow @tsgbergencounty — we can’t wait to share more about these businesses online throughout 2022.

Finally, we want to acknowledge our talented photographers, stylists, and our many local friends who shared their talents, props, and even homes with us so we could create the beautiful imagery featured in our Volume 2 Guide.

Put your money where your heart is and support local everything! Thank you for using this guide, and when you connect with these businesses, please tell them The Scout Guide sent you.

Live, Love, Local!

With our warmest regards, Chris Doherty and Eileen Sweeney Co-editors & Co-owners, The Scout Guide Bergen County

WHAT MATTERS TO ME Connections Matter Where you live is more than your home. It’s your community, your school, and the friends you make along the way. I’m here to help you get connected.

Relationships Matter Transactions are fleeting but the relationships made in the process are enduring. Mine are built on trust, respect, patience, open communication, and professionalism.

Reputation Matters I’m a fourth-generation Bergen County Realtor with deep, local roots. Honesty, integrity, and hard work are my legacy.

And also my promise to you!

Experience Matters 20+ years of experience and knowledge combined with concrete data and facts. I’ve got you covered! #connectingclientstocommunities #whenclientsbecomefriends #legacyrealtor #loveyourhome

LAURIE & GORDON HAMM INNKEEPERS

AT IRMS, WE’RE CHANGING THE WAY THE WORLD LOOKS AT FERTILITY. Everyone has a unique fertility journey and where you seek treatment matters.

IRMS stands by a basic principle that those who seek fertility assistance deserve to be partners in their own care. We take this statement very seriously because we fully understand and appreciate that the process of accessing reproductive help is not an easy or simple one. Our focus is to recognize your needs and wants as an individual or couple and to customize your care to achieve not just the end result you seek but to make the journey a bit easier along the way.

The physicians at IRMS are the heart of our practice and are each extraordinarily well qualified to provide both the highest quality medical treatment and thoughtful, customized care.

EN TR EP R E NEU RI AL Never be afraid to take that leap!

Christie Ross, Tin Can Confections & Cocktails

Make sure you start out with the right team in place as soon as you can–a business coach, a bookkeeper, a CPA, insurance agent…professionals in their own fields who can guide you along the way so that you can focus on what you’re good at and build your business the right way from the start.

Jessica Geller & Virginia Toledo, Toledo Geller

Employees are our best assets! Hire your customers—they know your product! Be sure to treat them well & provide a great work environment!

Teri Grajo, Backyard Living

It may not be original, but no one does it quite like you!

Amanda Nokes, Tin Can Confections & Cocktails

Always be sure of yourself, calm, and kind when dealing with issues!

Laurie Hamm, Ho-Ho-Kus Inn & Tavern

To be successful at anything, you don’t have to be so wildly different—you simply have to be what most people arent: consistent.

Be strong...follow your gut. IT’S WORTH IT!!

Cristina Vazquez, Petal Dust Cakery

Jen Darby Metzger, ERA Justin Realty Co.

Don’t be afraid to be you! There is only one you!!

Build systems so that your company continues to operate efficiently when you are not there.

Ashlee Kleinschmidt, Muah Makeup & Lash Bar

Paul Doherty, Hartmann Doherty Rosa Berman & Bulbulia

What brings you a sense of joy and calm? What fills you up?

THAT is where you want to invest your energy and time.

If you do everything with passion, you will never work a day in your life.

Cathleen Seco, The Neat Life by Cathleen

Ashlei Jarrett, @PoshAsh

Know your worth! Speak your truth. Be authentic & honest always, and when you feel like you can’t “do it” anymore, keep posting. The successful ones are the ones who persevered when they wanted to quit. When you love what you do, it’s not work, so do what you love!

Define your purpose and run with it! Don’t look back!

Rosario Mannino, RS Mannino Architects + Builders

Start now! The perfect time will never come.

Ray Ankton, bin52 Wine & Gourmet

Audrey Zona, Zo Healthy

Take time for yourself! To relax, to learn, and to grow.

Just go for it! Don’t think too much and talk yourself out of it.

Jess Ford, Peppercorn Events

Erica Mazzilli, Lily & Kate

Do what you do with excellence–it shows you care and that the people you serve matter!

Believe in yourself and others will follow. Don’t be afraid to fail, and if you are too comfortable, you are not challenging yourself.

Debbie Provencher, Lighthouse PRC

Danielle Palmadessa, DRP Interiors

RJ Jarrett, JNS Audio Video

Treat your clients the way you want to be treated.

AD VI C E

from THE SCOUT GUIDE BERGEN COUNTY MEMBERS

Find something you love to do and then, while being your most authentic self, go after it!

®

Never give up. Work your a** off. It will pay off in the end.

Keep learning no matter how long you have been in business, whether you can take more classes in your field or learn new ways of marketing. And always remember the saying, “love what you do and you will never work a day in your life.”

Annamaria Adinolfi, Elia Mediterranean Restaurant

Karen McWilliams, Closets by Karen

Don’t give up. Follow your dream. Keep going!

Consider the trades and consider working locally!

Carpenters, electricians, plumbers, tile contractors are all in high demand, and experienced tradespeople are a valued asset.

Kristin Gildea Fox, Kristin Gildea Fox Real Estate Group

Anna Rosati, Elia Mediterranean Restaurant

Hire people who excel in different areas than you and establish an incredible team. Believe in yourself; self-doubt is never helpful. Dream big and follow your dreams with HARD work.

Rob Elfers, Ulrich, Inc.

Go with your gut. No matter what!

Heidi Wostbrock, Wostbrock Home

Anastasia Baker, RSVP by Anastasia

Be sure to know your mission statement. Don’t follow trends. If you stay steady with your mission and vision, you will become the trend that others will follow.

It’s more important to have a good reputation than to make money. If you are good at what you do, the money will follow.

Jean Miller, Academy of the Holy Angels

Mitch Knapp, Scenic Landscaping

Genuinely listen and ask open-ended questions. If you make work about attaining clients’ goals, success will be the by-product.

Megan Fox and Max Stokes, Fox & Stokes

Something that has served me well has been to always set goals that take me two levels up because if I miss that goal, I have still leveled up.

Laurie DiGiacomo, Laurie DiGiacomo Interiors

Trust your gut instincts while remaining open to all opportunities you are presented with. There are multiple different ways to succeed. Lastly, do not be afraid to fail because failures often lead to many great successes.

Scott Kastin, Class 101

CTC Academy has been serving children and young adults with disabilities for more than 70 years. What was once the Cerebral Palsy Center of Bergen County—a small, therapeutic center—is now CTC Academy, a school and therapy center in two locations, serving students ages 18 months through 21 years of age. CTC is unique in that we provide services to medically fragile students as well as students who may attend for a short while before transitioning to another program or into their public district program.

Thanks to our fundraising efforts and the generosity of CTC donors, we are able to provide cutting edge services, facilities, equipment, and programs while remaining attainable for families that could benefit.

a CAUS E HOPE, STRENGTH, AND LOVE, POWERED BY TOMMY

Since 1984, the mission of Lighthouse has been to lovingly guide and support women, men, and teens facing unplanned pregnancies toward life-enhancing choices. We bring love to life in North Jersey through free, confidential services and ongoing support that includes: ultrasounds to medically confirm pregnancy, options education, parenting preparation with material aid, YoungLives Club for teen moms, STD testing and relationship counsel, fatherhood and family programs, and pregnancy loss and after-abortion healing support.

In addition, we offer relationship education to student groups in the community. We operate four locations: Hawthorne, Hackensack, Wayne, and Paterson—where we partner with RENEW Life Center to equip under-resourced families to thrive.

Tommy was a beautifully sweet, silly, and caring little boy. He loved his siblings, Star Wars, and Legos, and he had a gift for making his family and his buddies laugh.

At age four, Tommy was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and he fought a brave two-year battle with strength and resiliency. After he passed away, the Tommy Strong Foundation was founded to honor Tommy’s legacy by helping other families affected by childhood cancer.

The Tommy Strong Foundation’s mission is two-fold: to support the medical community as they work to find a cure and better treatments for pediatric cancers; and to support children and families as they navigate through a cancer diagnosis, treatment, and everyday life. Tommy Strong has helped to fund clinical trials, research labs, patient support services, and housing, and has provided meals, toys, and care packages to patients and their families. With the help of our supporters, the Tommy Strong Foundation will continue to do more for these children...to allow them to hope, dream, and get back to being a kid again.
