Melissa Spelts – Founder – When Ryan and I were first married, we both decided that I would stay home and raise our children so I spent 16 years doing so and Ryan worked to provide financially for our family. When Ryan came to me with the idea to start Connection Media Co. (Formerly Connection Publishing), I told him it would be a great idea and thought I would just cheer him on as I had done in all of his other careers. About a week before the first magazine was due in 2016, I realized he was still selling advertising and the content wasn’t getting completed. I dove in and helped pull everything together. Since that day, I have helped curate and gather the content we love creating every month. I also love photography and work hard to make sure our covers are beautiful and draw in our readers. Melissa is also a primary contributor to WhatToEat4Dinner.com our recipe and meal plan website.
