Michael Allen
Chief Operating Officer
Born and raised in Daytona Beach, Florida, Michael has called Gainesville home for the past 23 years. After earning a bachelor's degree, he moved to Gainesville to start a business with his father. Over the next 18 years, they built a multi-unit restaurant operation in Gainesville and Orlando, managing every aspect from blueprint to turnkey. As the owner/operator, he oversaw daily operations, staff development, forecasting, vendor relations, compliance, and profit/loss management. After nearly two decades, he sold the business, and the sales and acquisition process sparked his passion for helping other business owners navigate similar transitions. This led him to obtain a real estate license and join the same local business brokerage firm that assisted him as a client.
In addition to his business expertise, Michael is deeply passionate about international missionary work. He has led teams to Kenya and the far west basin of the Amazon River in Brazil and serves as the director of operations for Amazon Vision Ministries, a non-profit missions organization. He also holds a master's degree in theological studies from the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Family is a top priority for Michael. His wife, Melissa, is a director at the University of Florida, and their four children attend Countryside Christian School. They enjoy spending time together at sports games, school activities, and beach outings
Jenifer Bullard
Property Manager
With over 20 years of experience in the property management industry, I’ve learned that true success isn’t just about collecting rent or coordinating repairs — it’s about protecting investments and building lasting relationships with both property owners and tenants.
I specialize in managing single-family homes and small multifamily properties, with a focus on maximizing rental income while delivering a high level of owner and tenant satisfaction. My approach is hands-on and proactive, rooted in clear communication, responsiveness, and an unwavering attention to detail.
I didn’t originally plan a career in property management — I stumbled into it and never looked back. Over the years, I’ve served in roles ranging from leasing agent and property inspector to property manager and operations manager. I’ve successfully overseen portfolios from 80 to 400+ doors, consistently maintaining strong occupancy rates and high tenant retention. Whether it’s resolving a maintenance issue before it escalates or guiding an owner through market changes, I bring professionalism, accountability, and care to every property I manage.
Outside of work, I’m happily married and a proud mother of three. As a family, we love attending MLB games (though it’s a house divided — I’m a Tampa Bay Rays fan, and my husband roots for the New York Yankees), traveling (the mountains are a favorite), and simply spending time together. As my kids grow up quickly, I’ve come to value every moment with them. When I do have quiet time to myself, I enjoy baking new recipes and diving into craft projects I discover on Pinterest. Funny enough, I used to complain about tagging along with my grandmother to the craft store on Saturday mornings — now it’s one of my favorite pastimes.
My goal is simple: to manage every home as if it were my own — with integrity, efficiency, and a personal touch.
Jenelle Evans
Assistant Property Manager
I grew up in Gainesville and graduated from Gainesville High School, where I married my high school sweetheart. Military life took us all over the country, with Washington State and Hawaii being my favorite places to live. One unforgettable moment in my life was being in the air on September 11, 2001, while traveling to Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
I love to travel, cruising is my favorite or the mountains in the fall and winter. Enjoying time on the water and love a beautiful sunset. I have a Teacup Schnauzer that is 11 years old she is my certified service dog when I travel. She is my constant companion and definitely thinks she is more human than dog.
After 35 years of marriage, I recently separated from my husband and moved back home to be closer to my elderly mother and my brothers. A fun family fact: my parents founded Rub a Dub Dub Cleaning Service nearly 40 years ago, and my brothers now run the business, which will celebrate its 40th anniversary on January 1.
I am the proud mom of two married daughters and, while I don’t have grandchildren yet, I do have seven beloved “granddogs.” One of my daughters works for the Department of Social Services in Greenville, South Carolina, and the other is a Physician Assistant in DeBary, Florida.
Professionally, I have worked in property management since 2001 while living in Columbia, South Carolina. I opened my own property management company in 2007 and later expanded by launching a maintenance company in 2011. After many years of building and leading both businesses, I successfully sold the company in October 2025.
Pamela Morrison
Bookkeeper
I was born and raised in the historic city of St. Augustine, Florida, and moved to the Gainesville area during my teenage years.
With a background in Business Software and Accounting, I built my career as an accountant, spending the majority of my professional life serving the State of Florida. Three years ago, I made the transition to the private sector and found a new passion in property management, where I currently work as a bookkeeper.
Working in property management has been incredibly rewarding. It’s fulfilling to see firsthand how the services we provide positively impact the lives of individuals and families. Our homes are more than just buildings—they are personal sanctuaries, places of comfort and peace amid life’s daily demands.
At Pepine, I’ve found a community of amazing people who share my values and dedication. I’m proud to be part of a team that prioritizes both excellence and heart, and I look forward to many more years growing with this incredible company.
