Mike Merriman

“Mike is 60 going on 30...and a very fine skater who can work a crowd! I thoroughly enjoyed Mike's wit and benefited from his wealth of skating knowledge.”

Mike Merriman is a native of Minneapolis but recently moved to the Tampa area. Mike has been skating and teaching for many years and is proud to be Zephyr’s oldest employee. You will never guess it, however, as Mike enjoys skate dancing, slalom course skating, and freestyle skating, in addition to instructing. He is retired from his finance job at General Mills but somehow keeps getting called back to work for them from time to time. Mike also keeps himself busy playing racquetball, cooking for pleasure, and captaining sailboats.

“Great fun, excellent teacher, and a master of logistics even when surrounded by hopeless laughter.”
