SENIOR DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
For his final project as a University of Michigan graduate student, Myles and two of his classmates developed a real-life proposal to transform two vacant commercial buildings in Detroit into new retail and residential space. His former professor like the idea so much, he joined them in the venture. So did The Platform, where Myles and his former classmates are now full-time development managers. Before transitioning to The Platform, Myles spent three years working on food access issues in Detroit neighborhoods in his role at Eastern Market Corporation. His community engagement experience provides an asset to The Platform’s team.

BEST PART OF THE JOB
“I’m proud to be part of a company that partners with the communities we’re serving and seeks to make a positive impact with each project.”
ON LIVING IN DETROIT
“My wife and I purchased a duplex on Detroit’s Westside when we were in grad school. We discovered that proximity is the best teacher, learning as much from living here as we did from the classroom.”
