Mike Merrill grew up in a very large family as one of 13 children. When Mike's father passed away from a heart attack at the age of 45 when he was only 13 years old it forced him and his other 8 siblings that were still at home to really step up and do extra things to help their mother keep things afloat at the Merrill household. This helped the family hold onto their faith and values and also develop strength and character that can only come through hardship and struggle. These and other challenging experiences would shape what would become most important to Mike and how he would work to overcome any obstacle that came his way. Mike used these life lessons to inspire him to take control of his own life and become a young entrepreneur and business leader in his early twenties and he has continued in that path through different business ventures into today. Mike has always had a great passion for living an active lifestyle and enjoying hunting, fishing, hiking, and anything else that is outdoors. Mike has a special love for bow hunting and archery and enjoys pursuing big game animals wherever he can throughout the Mountain West. He has been married to his high-school sweetheart, Jennifer for 28 years and has four children and one grandson with another grand-baby on the way! Mike loves spending time with his family and traveling to new places together to experience and learn new things about other people and places!
