In the fall of 2024, Melissa joined the Southern Heritage team after a four-year-long stint as an assistant in vacation property management. She is also the co-owner of an evergreen tree farm with her husband, Ralph, of over thirty years. Together, they raised four children, but now dedicate much of their time and energy to playing with their grandson, Ryver. Melissa also enjoys reading, attending church, hosting gatherings, and helping the many family members and friends who depend on her. She is thankful for the Lord’s direction in leading her to Southern Heritage and is looking forward to a long, successful career under Jeff’s and Tiffiney’s guidance.
