Mele attended the University of Virginia, where he majored in business with a concentration in marketing. After graduating, he joined Accenture, a global management consulting company, pursued an MBA and joined Landmark Media Enterprises, a privately held media company based in Virginia. 

He then served as publisher of The Virginian-Pilot and president of Pilot Media.
