Miles grew up in amazing Northern California. He began skiing and camping in the Sierra Nevadas at a very young age and those were immediately his favorite things in life. Miles began focusing on mountaineering and skiing in earnest upon graduating from high school. In college he was a member of the UC Berkeley Ski Team and spent summers mountaineering in Yosemite and Kings Canyon. Upon graduating he decided to take one year off to ski and mountaineer while applying to medical schools. This of course led to many more years of skiing and mountaineering and no applications to schools. This pattern morphed into him becoming a professional freeskier out of Lake Tahoe, California. Now he has found his path and his true careers: skiing and mountaineering for a living.
Miles also loves surfing and has traveled all over California, Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica,
and Indonesia in search of interesting culture and phenomenal waves.
