Nobody could have predicted before the pandemic began in 2020 that lighting in the home office and workspace would be thrust into the spotlight and require more attention to detail, function, efficiency and design than ever.

After all, few homeowners spent as much time in their home office before COVID emerged as they did once it took a foothold in our lives. Working remotely meant rethinking how to transform the everyday home office into a comfortable, well-lit office away from the office.

When Tim Gray, a filmmaker with 31 documentaries to his credit, needs a quiet environment where he can concentrate on writing his next documentary, he heads to Hilton Head Island.

A resident of Rhode Island, Gray’s condominium near the Coligny area serves as his refuge the half dozen or so times a year that he and his wife visit the Lowcountry.

For Pretty Papers & Gifts on Hilton Head Island, the keys to lasting success are top-notch customer service and a wide variety of quality merchandise.

Original owner Susan Woods opened the shop in 1983 in Sea Pines Center as a high-end party store that sold Caspari napkins, Crane stationery, gift wrap, ribbons and balloons.

“We were the first stationery store on the island,” owner Gene Arrington said.

There’s something a little bit…magical about The French Bakery. Maybe it’s something in the deliriously light and fluffy crepes, the savory gourmet quiche or the blissfully sweet pastries.
Then again, maybe it’s something in the way Marek Belka decided long ago that time should move differently when you’re in his restaurant.
“This isn’t a place for you to rush your way through a meal,” he said. “We wanted this to be a place where you put your phone away, you enjoy the music and the views, and you let yourself really experience the food.”
So whether you’re coming in for a rich cappuccino, a glass of wine or an order of fresh-made pastries, don’t rush your next trip to French Bakery. Take the time and savor each moment.

Michigan native Rob Kaufman has called the Lowcountry home since 1992, but his career takes him around the country photographing architecture, food, portraits and even fine art.
Pick up any top local publication and you’re likely to see his work. From mouth watering food shots and elegant home interiors, to images of iconic island events like Winefest and the Concours d’Elegance, Rob’s photos have been used in hundreds of articles, websites and advertisements.

Tomasz Belka has been in the kitchen at The French Bakery since shortly after his father Marek took over 15 yeas ago. But his culinary journey began years before he made his way to Hilton Head Island.
“I moved to the states when I was 18 to attend USC for hospitality management, and ever since I’ve been cooking and learning from different chefs I’ve worked with,” he said. When his father took over The French Bakery, it proved the perfect opportunity for Tomasz to broaden his culinary horizons into baking, and work side-by-side with his dad.

As the local chapter of a national group who are teaching students valuable life skills through the game of golf, First Tee – The Lowcountry is changing lives in the Lowcountry. In schools or at their gorgeous Gumtree Road facility, First Tee instructors pair top-notch golf education with a focus on life skills and values. Leading the charge are the Leading Men of First Tee – The Lowcountry.
As Program Director, Aaron Immell gets to see this happen first-hand, guiding students through new programs like the youth tournament series and the upcoming Lowcountry Linksters class for kids aged 3-6. “It’s very rewarding to not only grow the game of golf in this community for kids,” said Immell. “They get really great experiences at school, but it’s nice to give them something outside the classroom to grow their game and build character.”

The field of information technology changes by the second, with the release of each new bit of hardware or software and with the advancement of new online threats. Staying on top of these developments takes dedication, something that Brian Blount of Carolina IT knows all about.
“I’ve been in IT since I was in college and never really stopped,” he said. “Of course, nothing I learned in college is still implemented except the ability to think like a computer.”
And the hard drive in Blount’s head is constantly filling up with cutting-edge methods and new strategies for protecting your data. You need only look at the shelf full of awards, including three consecutive Hilton Head Monthly Readers’ Choice Awards, to see that his methods work.

The hallmark of a good leading man is that he never stops moving forward. As owner of Avocado Bikes, the ingenious e-bike rental service employed by hospitality firms up and down the east coast, Ken Fagut exemplifies that quality. Not only is he a dedicated cyclist, riding his first 100-miler at age 13, he also has kept his Hilton Head Island-based business moving forward despite the odds.
“We opened in the middle of the pandemic. We couldn’t open our doors until the end of summer and couldn’t sign contracts until November,” he said. Still, Fagut persevered, and now Avocado Bikes are available for rent at the Marriott on the island and at a dozen locations from Massachusetts to Florida.

Since first opening its doors in 1965 as Sea Pines Academy, Hilton Head Preparatory School has been on the vanguard of education. Today, Hilton Head Prep begins a new chapter in its decades-long legacy of excellence, welcoming a pair of leading men who are ready to lead the school into the future.
New Head of School, Paul Horgan, has been working in independent schools for the past 28 years at both the upper school and college counseling level and as a coach. Making his way to Hilton Head Island for the first time when the opportunity presented itself at Prep, he was immediately taken by the strength of the community and the potential for even greater success.

Added new Aquatics Director Brian Koch, “It is truly amazing for such a small geographical area the outreach that the Rec Center has and I am very excited to be a part of it. “

When Joe Gancio came down from New Jersey with a vision to open a true neighborhood barbershop, he knew he wasn’t going to be able to do it alone. He was going to need to form a team.
There’s Eric Faison, “The Beard Wizard.” Came from Alabama with clippers in his hands and 20 years of haircutting experience under his belt. Then there’s Shawn Malloy, the one they call “Big Goon.” After the army, he discovered a passion for barbering that’s still going strong 15 years later. Finally, the new guy, Harry Santana. The only member of the crew native to the Lowcountry, he’s been cutting hair when he’s not out saving lives as a fireman. “These guys all come from different places to come here and be leaders in the Lowcountry, and they’re a great team,” said Gancio, adding with a laugh, “But let’s be honest, it’s the leading ladies of Joe’s Classic Cuts that call the shots. We just do what we’re told.”

05/11/2022

It may be Ken Ballard’s name on the door, but don’t try to tell his bulldog, Beignet Bouchee that Kenny B is the leading man at the restaurant. “We picked him up from New Orleans back in 2017,” said Ballard. “People ask me why I love Georgia football so much, it’s because I love the dog.”
That love makes sense – it was the first bulldog, Bubba Gumbeaux that put Kenny B’s on the map, establishing it as the island’s go to for kicked-up Louisiana fare. This kicked off a string of bulldog mascots for the restaurant, inspired by a class Ballard attended taught by guest lectuer, legendary ad man Joe Sedelmaier.
“He said to do something off the wall that folks will remember,” said Ballard. “Thus, the dog. We took it and ran with it.”
But it’s not all just marketing for Ballard and his dogs. “I always feel they are all still watching from above, knowing that someday they will be waiting for me again.”

05/11/2022

What Mike Sirgo created when he started his financial practice office in 1993 was intended from the start to be generational - working with clients, their children and their grandchildren to help families build a legacy. Along the way, he wound up truly creating a legacy of his own, bringing his son Luke into the firm.
“Luke’s love of finance and interest in financial planning developed at an early age, years before joining my team,” said Mike. “I wanted it to be his decision. I wasn’t going to force him, and it turned out things just fell into place.”
