Garrett Miller
Business Development Manager
With over 15 years of sales experience, Garrett brings a wealth of knowledge to the team and has contributed to a variety of unique projects throughout his career. We’re excited to have him on board!
When he’s not working, Garrett enjoys hiking with his wife, daughter, and their three dogs—a rescue mix, a Basenji, and a Great Dane.

That operation is fueled by his five smokers, making BBQ a serious passion at home!
