Doug Miller's Bio
Graduated from Detroit Carpenters apprenticeship program 2002. 17 Years of experience in the construction industry.
Born and raised in Detroit Michigan to a family of carpenters, Doug Miller knows the value of strong work ethic, and lives it everyday. From a young age his family taught him the art of carpentry, a hobby that instilled confidence, tenacity, and artisanal prowess in young Doug.
After high school, Doug eagerly joined a 4 year Carpenters Apprenticeship program at Local 687. While there, he landed an opportunity with National Construction Enterprises Inc where he truly began refining his skills. Eventually, he moved to South Florida, to accept a superintendent role with Paramount Drywall Inc. Doug’s skills surpassed expectations, and within 1 short year, he was promoted to start a new ground up division in Orlando, FL, that would come to service the entire Southeast.
When he began making waves in the Orlando Area industry, it was only natural that he and Aaron should team up as partners in AMH construction. Doug credits his success to the many mentors who surrounded him growing up. They fostered the important lessons of education, relationships, and general respect for all those around him.
He lives by the simple but true words of the great Vince Lombardi, “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will."

Blake believes that personal accountability, integrity, and resiliency are not only a fundamental part of success, but are also the building blocks of growth within the personal and professional development of one’s character.
Like his father, Doug Miller, Blake was born into a family of hard-working carpenters in Detroit. Blake graduated from Fort Benning, GA and was stationed at Ft. Bliss, TX. While on the line, he earned his place as a Team Leader for CCO 1-35 AR 1-1 AD. Blake did a Tour in Iraq, Kuwait, and Syria, and he was given the opportunity to be a young leader which translated well into his civilian career in general contracting. Starting as a Superintendent for AMH Construction, he then transitioned into estimating with American Platinum Builders before taking on his current role as a project manager. Blake oversees project communication between coworkers, clients, and subcontractors to achieve project milestones and efficient completion. His prior military experience has honed his ability to effectively identify relevant construction project issues to efficiently present them with time- and cost-saving solutions.
Blake credits his success to SSG Jolin who made an impact on Blake’s perception of leadership at a key time in his young military career and set the blueprint for the leader Blake strives to emulate.
Blake lives by a simple quote from his Battalion Commander, a Green to Gold Captain from Ranger Battalion, who instilled the following words into his men, “Lead from the Front” – CPT Inge
