Mr. Merkley

I am a native of Utah and this has given me a desire to explore.  I enjoy going into the mountains to hike, camp, and fish.  In addition, I have lived in other areas of the world; California, Texas, Florida, and the Dominican Republic.  In addition to traveling, I enjoy traveling in my mind through reading.  I have enjoyed reading about American History but enjoy reading about European History,  Art,  Entertainment,  Archaeology,  and Science.  I also enjoy spending time with my wife, two daughters, and two grandchildren.  I have a Master's in Education and enjoy teaching.
