MYLES COWHERD 

After taking a year off after high school to travel the world, including becoming a surfing and sailing instructor in Waikiki, Myles began his long and industrious business career. 

As the grandson of the founder of San Jose Blue, Myles is a 25 year veteran of the reprographic industry.  He became an owner, eventually selling it to an international public company. After the sale, Myles would become responsible for more than 500 employees and over $100 million in sales.

In 2012 Myles decided to take a year off work to spend time with his daughter before she went off to college, and in 2013 he joined the San Francisco Zen, ordained as a Soto Zen Priest, and currently holds the role of Director of Development in the organization.
