The first thing to know about me is, yes, Candy Sugarman is my real name.

More about that later.

And yes, Candy Sugarman is my real name! My father thought it was cute, never considering that I might want to be taken seriously one day. Today, I'm proud to be the only Candy Sugarman in North Carolina, where I call home.
