For 15 years Miles has been leading teams through operational, cultural and technical transformations in large corporations and passionate small businesses.

Part artist, part data fanatic, Miles loves when the stories reveal themselves through information and action.
Miles now works for iFixit, actively engaged in promoting environmental preservation by giving people the means to repair their tech rather than throw it away. He also supports youth literacy, education scholarships and teacher recognition through his work with local organizations. When he is not working, he enjoys traveling, rucking the California coast, and good Irish whiskey.
