Alex Moffatt, a Nassau County Army veteran, has opened a candle shop named Baldwin's Candle de Lite, inspired by a candlemaking class he attended before his deployment. After mastering the craft through online resources while overseas, he launched his business in 2023. The shop specializes in BYOB candle creation classes for couples and aims to provide more engaging activities for locals, especially in winter. Moffatt balances this business with a day job and classes, aiming to inspire his daughters through his work ethic and dedication to learning.
"For people to believe in you, you need to actually put in the work, show you can do it, and have the next person say, 'I can do that, too.'"
"I knew I could do a better job" after an unsatisfactory candlemaking class, inspiring him to learn online during his deployment.
"They took away all the movie theatres, the only thing you can really do is bowling," highlighting the need for more engaging local activities.
Moffatt's candle shop offers BYOB candle creation classes and aims to provide enjoyable experiences, especially in Long Island's colder months.
