OUR PUBLISHERS
Meet the dedicated individuals behind RiverTown & Shearwater, working tirelessly to bring you engaging content and stories from our communities.
Tom & Mary Comerford
Owners | Publishers
Originally from the Midwest (Tom from Wisconsin and Mary from Chicago), they relocated to St. Johns County in 2023 with a shared vision of building both a business and a life rooted in connection, purpose, and community. What began as a professional opportunity quickly became a personal mission - helping turn neighborhoods into communities® through storytelling, celebration, and meaningful relationships.
Mary brings a background in real estate and marketing, with a deep understanding of the luxury homeowner experience and how powerful trusted visibility can be for local brands. Tom brings strategic business leadership and relationship development expertise, ensuring every partnership is intentional, elevated, and built for long-term success.
Together, they work directly with residents and carefully selected local business partners to:
-
Share authentic resident stories
-
Highlight exceptional local businesses
-
Host in-person networking and community events
-
Create trusted visibility inside private neighborhoods
-
Deliver publications that are never more than 50% advertising
When they’re not working on the next issue, you’ll find Tom and Mary enjoying RiverTown and Shearwater’s trails and waterfront views, supporting local businesses, or spending time with their family and their two beloved dogs, Daisy and Charlie.
They believe luxury isn’t just about beautiful homes - it’s about meaningful connection. And they’re honored to help bring that connection to life every month.
The N2 Family
In 2004, best friends Duane and Earl launched The N2 Company with nothing but their savings and a shared vision: to build a nationwide business that honors God, strengthens the family, and creates financial wealth for everyone involved. Twenty years and multiple product lines later, N2 is still co-founder-owned, serves 25,000 clients, and has a presence in 49 states. N2 has been named one of the fastest-growing private companies by Inc. Magazine eight times (Inc. 5000) and earned countless culture awards from Fortune, Entrepreneur, Inc., Glassdoor, and more. To date, we’ve donated more than $26 million to fight human trafficking through our giving program, N2GIVES.
The STROLL Way
We know genuine connection – with neighbors next door and business owners down the street – makes for a more meaningful experience. And we believe getting to know people in your community should be as easy and enjoyable as an afternoon stroll. That’s why, since 2004, our magazines have been the means to a more connected life. Today, our industry-leading publications greet residents in hundreds of upscale neighborhoods nationwide.Stroll is Turning Neighborhoods Into Communities® by sharing residents' stories and photos in the magazine. And through Business Spotlight stories, advertising, and in-person events, neighbors meet the people behind local businesses as well. Formerly known as N2 Publishing, Stroll is the flagship product of media powerhouse The N2 Company.
