Born and raised in Somerville, Massachusetts, Myles and his lovely wife Janet raised their four children in Belmont, Massachusetts.
Myles started his career with New England Telephone Company in 1968 and learned from the experienced guys the value of looking out for each other. He became the shop steward and began to look after his fellow workers. He earned two degrees from Boston College, working by day and going to school part-time.
He was later elected Vice President of Local 2222, and in 1988 he was elected Business Manager. In 1991 Myles became the first Business Manager of Local 2222 ever to be re-elected. He has been re-elected every three years since.
In 2005 Myles became the first Business manager from the telephone branch of the IBEW to ever be elected to the International Executive Council. In his role as System Council T-6 Chairman, he has negotiated countless CBAs and other agreements, always standing up against corporate greed and fighting for working people.
