Dedman welcomes Mike LePorin to Dean's Council

Join us in welcoming our newest member to the Dean's Council, Mike LePorin.

Mike LePorin is a 1995 Florida State University (FSU) alumnus. Upon moving back home after college to Punta Gorda, FL, Mike began his career in the beer industry at the age of 20 at Peace River Distributing. Serving multiple roles in operations, sales, and key account management over nine years, Mike and his family decided to move back to Tallahassee to join Tripp and Susie Busch-Transou at Tri-Eagle Sales in 2004.

Tri-Eagle Sales is the leading Anheuser-Busch and specialty beverage distributor with operations in Tallahassee and Ocala, Florida. Tri-Eagle Sales distributes over 250 beverage brands ranging from domestic beer to fine wine and spirits. In addition, Tri-Eagle Sales leads their market and truly believes “making friends is our business.” This mission drives their culture and daily interactions with the community and retailer partners.

Over the past 16 years at Tri-Eagle Sales, Mike has served several roles, most recently being named Senior Vice-President in 2019. Mike oversees the sales, marketing, and operations logistics of Tri-Eagle’s 14-county territory in North and North Central Florida. Furthermore, Mike has served on multiple community boards, most notably Leadership Tallahassee and The Foundation for Leon County Schools, where he served as board chair in 2019/2020.

Mike is married to his wife, Betsy, and has four children—all boys. He enjoys tasting beer, golf, fitness, hiking, and most of all, attending FSU athletic events.
