    ABOUT:

    Miles is a fairly normal guy from Pittsburgh that strayed a long way from home. He's been a mentor of tech founders for 30 years, and a father of kids for 11 years.
    His day job has involved creating over 1,100 jobs while founding, financing, building and exiting three digital media companies. Prior to that, he was a Venture Principal at Capital Express (register.com), hosted MoneyHunt on PBS (pre- SharkTank), led over 1,500 people across 14 miles of open sea on kayak, and trekked 1,100 miles through the deserts of Saudi, Jordan and Syria… and A Line in the Sand ended up an Amazon Bestseller in the Middle East. After a bit of a pandemic reset, Miles is now actively investing and directly managing teams in digital media, entertainment, and consumer products. And painting watercolors with my daughter or playing rugby with my son.
