About Ian
A born and raised Mainer, Ian grew up in southern Maine. After graduating high school he attended Suffolk University in Boston, MA where he received his BS in Business Administration (BSBA) majoring in Big Data and Business Analytics and minoring in Information Systems in 2019. Ian moved back to Maine to work in Information Technology focusing in analytics and databases. He has always had a passion for entrepreneurship which lead him to start Tinderland Candle in the fall of 2022. An avid candle lover and fan of many scents, he thought, how hard could making candles be? Turns out, it can be! It's both an art and a science he learned, which lead to many experiments and rounds of testing to produce Tinderland's product line you enjoy today. What drives Ian is the creativity candle making offers, the variety of people who enjoy candles from all walks of life, and not to mention makes his house smell amazing when making them!
