Born on October 20, 1956, in Bennington, he was the son of Donald and Helen (Wetherby) Rogers. He attended Pownal Elementary School and graduated from Mount Anthony Union High School with the class of 1974. After high school, he joined the U.S. Army serving in Germany until 1977.

After college Miles married Tina Barney in 1981, bringing two children into this world Candace and Jonathan Rogers. They later divorced.

Following college, he worked for the State of Vermont and Pike Industries before moving to Phoenix, AZ where he spent many years working for RAMM Engineering. Miles moved back to Vermont in 2012 to be closer to family and to be present for the birth of his second grandchild Bradham. Miles moved in with daughter Candace in 2015 where he spent his remaining years.

Miles enjoyed his weekly trips to the Wayside, his morning drives through the countryside, his NASCAR races and memorabilia, reading Stephen King novels, and his cat Sahara, but most importantly he loved his kids and grandchildren unconditionally.
