Board of Directors 2024

Andy Melville
Andy Melville, President
Andy Melville has a degree in Business Administration from the University of Central Florida and completed his MBA at Georgia State University in downtown Atlanta. Andy’s career took their family all over the US, working for Polaroid, Disney, Department 56 and most recently Big Rock Sports, where Andy served as President. For the past 30 years, Andy has held executive level leadership positions in all facets of operating a business from sales, to operations to IT strategy. Athletics, along with a true appreciation for the lessons learned through competition, have been a core part of Andy’s life and that has been passed on by Bonnie and Andy to their 3 children. When we were all introduced to pickleball by Bonnie, we were hooked! 

Ron Duff, Vice-President
Ron Duff brings a tremendous amount of financial and IT knowledge to the Board.  He also has significant experience as a Board Member and Chairperson of a board focused on governance of  practices for the lending industry.  Ron is also an avid pickleball player with dozens of tournament medal finishes under his belt at both Pictona and other venues around the region. We are so happy to have Ron bring his professional and pickleball experience to support Pictona as a member of our Board of Directors.

Darren has an advocacy/sponsorship relationship with Selkirk, plays 8+ tournaments a year and loves being an ambassador for Pictona and the sport of pickleball.


 Lisa Hopkins, Treasurer
I am very excited to expand my dedication to the growth and infinite future of Pictona. As many know, I teach PB 101 to encourage our expanding membership, work on our Friends of Pictona donation team as can be seen by the many paddles we have hung commemorating our donors. Volunteer at all our tournaments and consider myself an ambassador to show the facility to the curious. I have extensive knowledge in accounting as a prior business owner, comptroller and financial advisor currently of two other businesses. My husband and I love traveling and spending time with our 9 Grand Angels. Thank you to the Martens, the Board and all of our wonderful members.
