BDM Remodeling (BDM Associates, LLC) was founded by Bret D. Mellen. Born in Washington, DC, Mr. Mellen was raised in Arlington, Virginia. He came to Atlanta in the mid 1980s to pursue an Industrial Design degree at Georgia Tech. As a Dean's List student, he felt something was missing and moved to Business and Behavioral Science at Oglethorpe University. After graduation, he became immersed in the financial, engineering, manufacturing and service industries, yet always enjoyed completing design and remodeling projects on the side. He soon honed his skills to become the innovative leader of his own company, BDM Associates. A promising athlete with a strong work ethic, he excelled in multiple sports and took his team philosophy with him into volunteer coaching as well as his business ventures. Often times leading teams of average players to championships, his encouragement and example brings out the best in those around him.
