P.J. Mellana is a husband, father, leader, and lifelong learner who believes wisdom is best measured not by what you know, but by what you live and pass on.
He currently serves as Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Bellflower and has worked in the field since 1999, holding leadership roles with the cities of Bellflower, San Ramon, and Glendale. Since becoming a department head in 2012, P.J. has overseen programs in sports, arts, aquatics, youth, senior, and community services—while also leading executive-level initiatives in leadership development, labor negotiations, capital projects, and grants.
He is also the founder of Numbers Don’t Lie Productions, a youth-sports-focused brand providing creative tools and educational resources to support athletes in their college recruitment journey.
His first book, Dad Notes – A Collection of Timeless Life Lessons, began as daily messages of encouragement and wisdom written for his son. What started as a personal legacy project grew into a guide for anyone seeking to live intentionally, lead with integrity, and pursue greatness.
