It is said that behind every great man stands a great woman.  Our CEO, Melanie Belshee, is the woman behind the scenes that has brought a great idea to life.

A Graphic Designer by trade, Melanie has worked with some of the top companies today including Microsoft, Cisco Systems and Avid.  In 2006 she struck out on her own founding B-Real Marketing, helping small business owners, in particular Realtors, brand their businesses professionally and affordably.

When her husband Ryan thought up the RocLok Hide a Key in 2007, Melanie took on the task of marketing this innovative product creating the logo, website and all print media associated with it.  Additionally, Melanie tasked herself with learning tricks of SEO, blogging and social networking.  These skills amongst others she continues to hone today.

Although most of her time is spent working on growing RocLok, Melanie still enjoys lending her design talent for a good cause, working with a local no-kill cat shelter, The Cat Adoption Team on a series of projects throughout the year including their yearly Calendar and their largest annual fundraiser Whisker Wonderland.  Her love of animals has driven Melanie to form relationships with a series of other non-profit animal rescue groups including Shorty's Rescue, a Pit Bull Rescue created and run by Shorty Rossi, the star of Animal Planet's Pit Boss television series.  One of Melanie's goals for the company is to help animal rescues get their messages heard while raising money and awareness for their cause with the help of the RocLok Hide a Key.

Writing has become a new hobby of Melanie's.  She enjoys interacting with RocLok fan's daily on Facebook and Twitter and has become enthralled with learning about all aspects of the lock box industry.  When she has time, Melanie enjoys blogging about the in's and outs of making a product in the U.S.A. through Project: Making it in America, a blog spot dedicated to chronicling her and Ryan's experiences building the RocLok Hide a Key.
