About Us

My wife Kat and I officially launched Hollywood Hills Candle Co. on Black Friday in 2024. Our story begins when we met on Halloween in 2015 and proceeded to get married on Halloween 5 years later. Not long after we tied the knot, we started making candles while everyone else was making sourdough bread. And we eventually got really good at it. So good that we sold candles to an A-List movie star, a 6x GRAMMY Award winner and an EMMY Award winner within our first month. 

We chose the name for a couple reasons. It tells our story from the present and aspirations for the future. Our apartment's neighborhood is listed as Hollywood Hills on Zillow despite being at the very bottom of the hill. But it also gives us something to work toward. A vision for the future. Becoming the stars we've always known ourselves to be.

On Memorial Day in 2024, we welcomed our son, Magnus. So whatever goals we had for this company prior to that moment immediately turned into providing a better life for our little guy. With every sale, we get one step closer to turning fantasy into reality. Thanks to everyone following our journey and supporting our family along the way.
