Todd
Miller has been associated with the game
of golf for most of his life and associated
with the representation of golf clients
for most of his professional career. After
a successful junior playing career, he achieved
collegiate playing success by participating
in the NAIA National Golf Championships
and receiving All-Conference and All-District
honors throughout his collegiate career.
Thereafter, he played professionally on
several tours and in PGA sectional events.
He graduated from Lincoln University with
a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree
in 1991 and he earned his Juris Doctorate
in 1999 from the University of Missouri.
In the interim and between coursework, he
was employed by several of the nation’s
leading golf facilities including The Bay

of golf course owners and operators nationwide
with respect to the reduction of property
taxes. The portfolio of golf courses exceeded
250 courses under Mr. Miller’s control
and the average appeal success rate exceeded
80%. |
