Let us introduce you to our team!

Gordon Hardy • Co-Founder

Gordon is a Co-Founder of Marmalead and a Marma guru. He and Rich started Marmalead back in 2015 and haven’t looked back! Gordon was in the corporate software development field before deciding to go the “fresh squeezed” route with Marmalead.

Gordon is from Cleveland Ohio and although he has also lived in Iowa and New Hampshire, he ultimately moved back to Cleveland and he and his family happily call it home. Gordon’s hobbies include slappin' the bass guitar, dreaming up awesome overland adventures, and hanging out with his family!

Rich Peplin • Co-Founder

Rich is a Co-Founder of Marmalead and wearer of many hats! Before Marmalead, Rich was in product management and we’re pretty sure he hasn’t found any position as a”peeling” as being one of the founders and fearless leaders of our Marmalead team.

Rich is originally from Cleveland, OH. But these days, you’ll find he and his family living just outside of Jacksonville, FL. Rich’s hobbies include wake surfing, flying (yep, he’s a pilot!), hanging with his family, and writing awesome, innovative ideas on his trusty flip chart!

Kevin Melecion • Product Specialist

Kevin has been with Marmalead since 2015! He is our international superstar and hails from the island nation of the Philippines.

Kevin’s hobbies include traveling, flying his drone, and judging the quality of all ice cream companies based on how well they make their Cookies’n’Cream flavor. He’s also always down for a good movie night!

Dylan Read • Marketing Specialist

Dylan is the newest member of the Marmalead team and we’re proud to have him! Before Marmalead, he worked in the corporate event planning space, so his talents for planning and executing are second to none!

Dylan is a family man whose hobbies include hiking, kayaking, camping, and basically anything else that gets him outdoors. He’s also a major movie buff, enjoys a glass of bourbon, and has a vintage camera collection.
