Hello,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Mark E. Miller.
For the last 27 years I have been designing Custom homes, Builder spec homes, and production Model Homes for Clients and Builders in the Denver and Front Range area of Colorado, St Augustine Florida, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Prior to having my own business, I had the privilege to work with and be mentored by some of the finest Architects and Builders in the Denver area. They included me in all phases of their businesses, while insisting on excellence in design, detail and service. During that fifteen-year period I combined on-the-job training with Two years of night classes in construction practices, and countless hours of independent study on what makes a “Fine Residential Design”, how it is built and how to bring a client’s dreams to reality.

I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to blend my talents and experience with the dreams and needs of my Clients. My resume and client list are attached. Please feel free to contact me by phone or E-mail with any questions you may have or to discuss how I can be of assistance to you in designing your, or your client’s new home, or remodeling the home you already have. I would also invite you to visit my Web Site for more information, photos and our services.
