Miles tailors each session specifically to meet his clients' fitness needs. Miles doesn't use clipboards or programmed regimens. His own elite level of fitness, as well as years of experience as a trainer, allow him to implement the perfect program for each client which include weight-training, cardio, yoga, and stretching as well as nutrition and life-style counseling. When not training himself or his clients, Miles indulges his passion for art. Miles has extraordinary talent as a painter. He excels in many genres including abstract, impressionist, still life, and landscape. The discipline that sets Miles a part from many other artists is his amazing talent as a photo realist painter. His latest exhibit, Hand of Sun, featured a number of large, botanic photo realistic originals in oil. The centerpiece of the exhibition, Ray of Beauty, a four-foot square, brilliant sunflower with microscopic detail, sold within minutes of the opening of the show. The collector who purchased Ray under conditions of anonymity in order to surprise his wife, also acquired a number of other significant pieces. Within hours of the opening, Miles sold most of his photo realistic floral's with commissions for others. At each subsequent show, Miles consistently surpasses the expectations of his fans.
