A native of Paulding County, Georgia, Melissa actually began her life in Ocala, Florida where she surprised us 5 weeks early on this earth. She has always been a beautiful, kind, loving, determined, free-spirited go getter. These qualities have served her well into her adult life where she used them to obtain a Dental Hygiene degree from West Georgia Technical College and continues to work in her field of study at Stress Free Dentistry in Cobb County. Melissa has achieved her academic and professional goals as well as many of her personal goals. Just this year (2015), she competed in a national bikini modeling competition which requires dedication, determination, skill and a lot of training. She placed in the top 5 at this competition. She is also an experienced softball player. Beginning her softball career at only 5 years old, Melissa has an awesome throwing arm - you definitely don't want to be rounding 3rd base if she has caught the ball - she can throw a softball from outfield all the way to home plate with ease. She also competed on the varsity Cross Country team in high school and continues to love running today. Melissa's hobbies include weight training, competition bikini, softball, running and being the world's greatest aunt.

Derek arrived in this world on a cold, January day in Moline, Illinois. When he was about 4 years old, the family moved to Georgia where, except for a few brief periods, he has made his home. Derek served in the Navy as an Aircraft Structural Mechanic and afterward, moved to Utah where his father resided. While there, Derek attended and graduated from Mountain West College. Upon returning to Georgia, Derek realized that he had a strong inclination toward physical fitness training. For many years now Derek has been a skilled personal trainer, but his ultimate goal is to become a Physical Therapy Assistant. He has completed courses at West Georgia Technical College and is currently attending classes at Chattahoochee Tech. While Derek will make an excellent Physical Therapy Assistant, he has many other talents. He is a skilled mechanic, and his handy-man talents are many. Whether it be roofing a house, building a room or a deck, tiling a bathroom or anything plumbing related, there is very little that Derek will shy away from. For hobbies, Derek usually does something related to his physical training. He has engaged in krav maga, jiu-jitsu, and mixed martial arts and he has metaled in competition. However, his greatest accomplishments are his children, and there is no one more devoted to family than Derek. |
