Michael Miller

Michael Miller My name is Michael Miller. I am a native New Yorker and a semi-retired attorney who has been in the SF Bay Area for over 20 years. I am an avid sports fan and still play competitive baseball in what my kids call the OFMBL (Old Fat Man’s Baseball League). I am also an assistant varsity baseball coach at the local high school. Hockey is a passion and always has been for me. As a kid I played street hockey year-round and still wonder why I never tried ice hockey. I hope to bring that passion to my contributions on THW.
