Ever since Merril Hoge
was eight years old, he
dreamed of being a
professional football
player. Growing up in
a small town in Idaho,
the goal seemed
unrealistic. But Merril didn’t just
dream about this goal. From that
young age, he used the words “Find A
Way” to take action to overcome any
obstacle and to attain any goal. Today,
as he continues to strive towards his
own goals, he also uses his Find A
Way philosophy as a parenting tool,
and challenges his children, Kori and
Beau, to Find A Way to achieve their
goals, overcome obstacles and take
ownership of their lives.
