I have discovered a way to pursue my dreams while fighting to survive. I persistently find solutions to overcome challenges and achieve my goals. I am dedicated to maximizing my skills and talents through hard work, focus, and action.
I have always found hope in people. They have challenged and inspired me throughout my life. Without them, I’m not sure what life would be like. I would love to hear your “Find A Way” story.
Merril has overcome career-ending head trauma, depression, cancer, open heart surgery, and used those experiences to help others facing similar challenges through inspirational speaking and various business ventures. But none of these things are more important than the thing he cherishes most in his life—being a dad.
My speaking journey started in the summer of 2003 while i was sitting in a chemo therapy chair battling cancer. My dear friend Charley Lavalle, hired a film crew to document one of the days of my chemotherapy treatment. Charley asked me a series of questions that led me to explain how the words `Find A Way’ had helped me live a dream and now were helping me fight to live! After I explained it to him, Charley challenged me to write a book about “Find a Way” and share it with everyone that would listen. My response was, “ Charley, if I survive cancer I will write that book and share that message.” Well…I survived cancer and now my passion is to share “Find A Way” to help people Find Their Way.

He was extremely engaging with the audience. He delivered a message that was directly related to the theme of the meeting and was extremely professional, positive, and an excellent presenter. Overall, I would definitely recommend him to my peers in other areas of the business.
I wanted to say thank you for today I have had so many colleagues text or e-mail saying thank you and how much they needed that whether personal or professional battles! I know Tami speaking to you at the end with her battle will be a memory she will never forget!
Really Awesome and Thanks again!
