Meet the Owners: John & Melissa Ballenger (and Tucker!)

John retired in 2000 from his career as a sea going Chief Engineer (CE) on an LNG tanker. He held a CE license, unlimited horse power, unlimited waterways; steam, diesel, and gas turbine. He retired a second time in 2016 from Chevron where he was a Marine Facilities Construction Supervisor.  John now enjoys travel, pickleball, and flyfishing.
 

Melissa recently discontinued her involvement in the world of glass art.  Her fused glass art can be seen as far away as India, Germany, Australia, Portugal, and England, as well as at our local gallery The Lido Collective.  Melissa’s new passion is Pickleball. This has inspired her to become a certified Pickleball coach. Eventually her detached studio will become a short term rental.
 

Tucker is their beloved yellow lab.  He is friendly and well mannered and may pay you a visit in the parking lot when you come to Big Rock Pickleball.
