BIOGRAPHY
About Ken & Jared Mellick
Ken Mellick started in the construction business for his uncle as a summer job during high school. Ken enlisted in the army when he was 18 and spent five years in the service, which included a tour in Vietnam. That tour of duty as a Ranger earned him a Silver Star for gallantry in action, a Bronze Star, and an Army Commendation medal for Valor. Ken married his wife Joan during this time and began building a family of six children. The kids were not born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but they did get a rusty hammer shortly thereafter.
His eldest son Jared followed his dad to job sites when Ken returned to the construction industry. Ken became a building inspector and then started his own construction company. He built custom homes for almost two decades. In 1989 the Mellick family moved to Orlando, and shortly thereafter Ken and Jared started Universal Roofing Group, Inc.
Ken and Jared are both licensed Contractors in the State of Florida and continue to have a passion for the construction and home improvement industry. They contribute to and have been featured in numerous magazines and television shows.
History of "In The House"
In the spring of 1999 an Orlando based radio station was looking for a new host for their up and coming home improvement radio show. Ken & Jared Mellick, who owned a local roofing and construction company, had recently been interviewed and the producers loved them. The radio station was holding open auditions so the Mellick's decided to give it a shot. Shortly after gaining the host position Ken & Jared turned this mediocre show in to a revenue and ratings monster. With a loyal following of dedicated listeners they soon caught the attention of another radio station in Orlando. After many meetings and late night brainstorming sessions they decided to move the show.
