Justyn Melrose is a native of both Florida and Massachusetts, but after more than a decade of Carolina barbecue and craft beer, he considers himself a naturalized North Carolinian.

After graduating from Guilford College, he signed on as a news reporter at RockinghamNow, a community newspaper serving Reidsville, Eden, Madison and Rockingham County.

He took on the mantle of FOX8 digital news producer in July 2018 and became the executive digital producer in May 2021.

He has had multiple award-winning features published — though he is also proud of the stories he tells with friends through pen-and-paper roleplaying games.

When he’s not at the station, you can likely find him brewing up stories for his next Dungeons & Dragons campaign or getting in line for the next big Marvel movie.
