TENACIOUS PASSION
My name is Rick Miles and I’m developing this website to share my architecture, portfolio, resume, and anything else architecturally related that I find interesting.
A GLIMPSE INTO MY JOURNEY
Upon serving 30 years in the United States Navy, that included deploying to the Persian Gulf 10 times on 6 different ships and as a Naval Aircrewman in EP-3 reconnaissance aircraft, I have resurrected my childhood ambition of becoming an Architect. Driven by the desire to create, my inspirations include Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, and Pierre Koenig. Architecture is a passion that I will pursue for the rest of my life and I intend to leave this earth, as Frank Lloyd Wright did, while overseeing my final project.
