Life & Hobbies

Although he was born in Seattle and raised in Michigan’s upper peninsula, Dr. Mering and his wife are quickly taking to their new home in Pittsburgh. In his free time, he keeps active by playing hockey and going on long leisurely evening walks to admire Pittsburgh’s unrivaled architecture. When he is home, he’s either teaching his son how to play hockey in the driveway or practicing ballet with his daughter. No matter what his schedule entails, however, Dr. Mering always makes sure to be home for family dinner each night.
