Not Only Luck.
John Melonakos · Atlanta

Building our luck.
Through trials of faith.

We build our luck through trials of faith: trusting God, taking the next step, and learning to love and serve through uncertainty.

I’m John—an entrepreneur, engineer, and father of six. This is my record of how faith shapes what I build, how I face hardship, and who I’m becoming.
