Candy's Story
Life
Married my college sweetheart. Jim & I met while he was a student at Rutgers and I at Douglass. 39 years and 2 children later, we are still together. Son Greg, who got married at Niagara Falls in 2005, tought math in Houston, but since moving to Indiana in 2006 is working in the family business; his wife is a school nurse. Daughter Christy is a co-owner of Cliptomania.com, the family business.
After 4 decades on the east coast, I convinced Jim to bring me back to Indiana in 2202 and we are really enjoying life in Bloomington!
For most of my adult life I worked in the non-profit sector, first in social work, then directing a crisis line for 12 years and finally as development director for a large agency serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homele...Expand for more

In 1999 we started a little Internet business that Jim and I thought would be something we would do on the side. Little did we know how many people would welcome the chance to buy non-pierced earrings when a wide range of attractive styles was offered. Now I work fulltime as CliptomaniaÂs CEO, Christy, its Customer Relations Manager, is working on a degree in Business Administration and Jim splits his time equally between marketing Cliptomania and his work in the insurance field. And we have 3 employees. Not only is Cliptomania growing by leaps and bounds, but the Kelley School of Business at IU uses Cliptomania as a case study of a successful entrepreneurial Internet business. Non-profit management experience has proven to be a great foundation from which to start and grow a new business!
