Our Mission & Purpose
Michael Navas
Hi, I’m Michael, founder, sous chef, and CEO of Shiddy Wicks who strives to deliver the experience that no other candle can! I believe that while there are many other candles out there, Shiddy Wicks is not just any other candle, but an entire experience that can get anyone to think “what does Panda Poo smell like?!?” and enjoy the smells that come along! One of my passions is helping others and leaving an impression that brings a smile to their face. Being able to deliver this experience in the form of a Shiddy Wicks candle leaves me with nothing but happiness!
Hamilton Hock
Greetings, I’m Hamilton! Co-owner, Chief Financial Officer, and Cook of Shiddy Wicks. I enjoy the science behind candle making and here at Shiddy Wicks, I’m given the opportunity to experiment with and create hand-poured candles that will fill our consumers' nostrils with bliss. At the moment, my favorite Shiddy Wicks candle is Frosted Dingleberry from our winter collection. What's yours?
Duane Stanton
Hey, My name is Duane! Co-owner and COO of Shiddy Wicks. Our main goal at Shiddy Wicks is to enhance the atmosphere of any room. This principle perfectly aligns with my love for sharing spaces with friends and family. Couple this experience with a refreshing fragrance and I’ve got all I need.
Eli Zarzecki
I’m Eli and I handle all things Shiddy marketing and branding, ensuring that everything we do and create is up to the Shiddy standard.
My personal favorite candle is Old Head from our OG collection. I always love to light a candle while working or planning out content or our next collection.
My favorite part about our company is that while Shiddy Wicks delivers candles that bring a great smell to any room, we also put smiles on peoples faces when they see our products and hear their names. This would not be possible without the hard work of Mike, Ham, and DJ, and all of our amazing customers who support us.
