Mike got his start in the lab working with his stepfather, Bill, at Hub City Dental Lab as a teenager. Since then, he has worked in labs around Texas and Colorado as well, until finally opening his own, West Texas Dental lab right here in Lubbock.

When he isn’t at the workbench or speaking with doctors, he is sure to be found at home, crafting artisan sculptures and furniture out of wood. Many of these pieces reside in the lab and even a few dental offices around town.

If not at the lab or garage, though, he is likely corralling his four dogs and four cats or cooking a gourmet pasta dish for his lovely wife, Jennifer.

Miles started as a technician seven years ago shortly after the opening of West Texas Dental Lab. Beginning as a driver and working in the plaster room, he worked his way up, ushering in and streamlining the digital workflow, eventually taking on a managerial role at the lab.

At home, Miles enjoys making music, cooking French cuisine from scratch, and getting scratched by his three cats. He also plays golf (or tries to) on the weekends.

Freshly engaged to his sweet fiancée, Lauren, who also works at the lab and can be seen dropping off cases, Miles is slated to be married in fall of 2026.
