ESPOSITO SUCCESS IN NYC MALE SALON

John Esposito, WHS '88, loved growing up in Westfield- He graduated from Georgetown and then got his MBA from Columbia. He  was doing marketing at IBM and decided he was done and wanted to do his own thing- Kind of a Jerry Macguire moment!  So, in 2006 he opened, - with a friend-  Truman's Gentleman's Groomers. It  was created by  professional men who grew tired of going to female-centric salons in search of a worthy haircut. They wanted classic services like shaves, shoe shines, and massage at a place where the client was the most important person in the room and the service was provided without an attitude.Their collective vision bred an entirely novel grooming experience. The Truman's client can expect to be treated to exceptional service, complimentary beverages, and beyond all, quality care.  They offer barbering and salon services- which includes cuts, shaves, trims, manicure (handshake maintenance), hair coloring, pedicures, shoe shines, waxing, massage, and skin treatments.

"Business is doing real well, we are looking to expand to a 2nd location and aiming to launch our own product line next year," John said. "My favorite memories of WHS were hanging out in the quad and playing football and lacrosse, parties at the Tilyou's and Fizzel's house. Wish I could have moved back to Westfield but lost that battle to my wife so ended up back in her home town, Irvington NY, after living in the city for 14 years. "

John has three kids now John, 6, Claire, 5, and Nora ,17 months. still keeps in touch with his high school buddies, in fact Dave Brown and Colin McLane are clients. His aunt is Dr. Eileen Cambria, principal of Franklin Elementary School. John was also my very first boyfriend in Westfield.

JV FIELD HOCKEY TIES ALJ

Arthur L. Johnson High School in Clark may be known as a field hockey powerhouse, but the JV Westfield High School team held their own this past Saturday, tieing ALJ 3-3 in the game.

Goals were scored by Sophie Fetter, Hannah St. Lifer and Julia Ceasrine.  Lauren Anzevino and Geena Gao had assists.

"We were proud to tie with such a competitive team," coach Melissa Czerwinski said.

Way to go Westfield!
