BELMAR – Michelle Fontanez used a crockpot to melt wax in her kitchen when she started her Belmar business seven years ago.
Now, through sheer hard work and creative thinking, Fontanez has turned Surf s Up Candle into a worldwide business that has accounts such as Universal, QVC, Bed Bath and Beyond.
The single mother of four children has weathered the coronavirus pandemic shutdown well – and even actually grew during it – to inspire others with her success story.
