About the host
Hosted by Martin Miller
I retired in 2022 after a 40 year media career. My main objectives now are to have fun traveling, playing music, seeing friends, volunteering as a board member for a local non-profit and consulting for another about fundraising. I also love Pickleball and I plan on being a great VRBO host!
