The Voice of Merrill comes to Kansas City by way of Lawrence, KS, Arizona, Nebraska, Colorado and Michigan.  His experience has allowed him to hone his skills on a number of music and talk radio stations.   Merrill considers himself an entertainer first and foremost.  After studying Theatre at Western Michigan University and Political Science at Fort Hayes State University Merrill has combined his passion to entertain with his knowledge of current events to create a high energy program that narrows in today’s pressing issues using a different perspective than the more traditional radio hosts.
 
When he’s not preparing for his radio program on KMBZ Merrill may be found playing softball, cheering on the Jayhawks or spending time with his wife and their three children on one of Kansas and Missouri’s beautiful recreational lakes.
