Melanie has been educating her children in an EPIC way since her oldest were little, although only her two youngest were homeschooled. Both of them lived EPIC Adventures from elementary school through high school and graduated using EPIC Adventures as their way of learning. Melanie now teaches, trains, and mentors others who want to teach their children using EPIC Adventures. She is the mother of seven children: Josh has his PhD in Nuclear Biology, Travis is a Producer for BYUTV and freelances for various companies, including the Olympics, Nicole is an accountant working on her CPA, Bonnie is a teacher, Ben works in IT, Morgan is working on her special education degree, and Caleb is serving a mission in Cambodia. Thanks to Josh, Travis, Nicole, Bonnie, and Morgan, Melanie is the proud grandmother of eleven.
