A proud Darke County native and devoted follower of Christ, Melissa brings a unique blend of financial expertise, ministry leadership, and a heart for service. A graduate of Arcanum High School, she pursued her studies in accounting at Bowling Green State University and Edison Community College.

Her professional journey began in banking, where she spent 22 years with Chase Bank (formerly Bank One), serving in a wide range of roles—from teller and administrative support to loan underwriter, personal banker, and assistant branch manager. In 2013, she followed a calling to serve in Children’s Ministry, leading two local church ministries through seasons of growth and transition.

In 2018, she returned to the accounting field with a local CPA firm, where she supported a diverse set of personal and business clients. Her experience spanned office administration, bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, and accounts receivable management.

This spring, she felt God prompting a new chapter—one that led her to Huntington Billboards.

Outside of work, she and her husband Brian—married for nearly 34 years—enjoy life with their four sons: Adam (22), Zach (21), Trey (18), and Ethan (15). Whether supporting their sports seasons or encouraging their career pursuits in meteorology, firefighting, aviation, or high school academics, family remains her greatest joy. They live just outside of Greenville and are active members of Community of Faith Church in Arcanum.
