Jason Miller is the director of the firm’s Marketing & Business Development Department. He focuses his efforts on building and maintaining the firm’s visibility and public reputation, and supporting the firm’s attorneys in creating and cultivating productive relationships.
Before joining Ryan Swanson in 2007, Jason spent nearly eight years at the international law firm of K&L Gates LLP. As Business Development Manager at K&L Gates, he directed the business development and marketing activities for six of the firm’s national practice/industry groups. This involved developing and implementing strategic marketing and business development plans that included public/ media/community relations, brand positioning, events, targeted collateral materials and new business pursuits.
Jason’s experience prior to joining K&L Gates included work as a Northwest sales representative for a major sporting goods manufacturer and account management at a large worldwide advertising agency. He has a B.A. from the University of Washington in Marketing and Business Administration.
Jason served as President of the local chapter of the Legal Marketing Association in 2007, which constitutes over 100 members from across the Pacific Northwest United States. He served on the Board since 2004 in a number of different leadership positions and was most recently the Treasurer. Jason is also a member of the American Marketing Association.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Jason has called the Puget Sound area home for more than 48 years. An avid sports fan, he is a season ticket holder for several local teams and still plays ice hockey and softball whenever he gets the chance. Much of his free time is spent coaching his youngest in baseball, basketball, hockey, or whatever sport happens to be in season, while also teaching his daughter the finer points of defensive driving. He also makes frequent trips to Roseburg, Oregon, to watch his oldest son pitch for the Umpqua Community College RiverHawks.
Jason lives in Issaquah, Washington, with his wife and kids, and can often be found at the family home on Whidbey Island when there is a rare break in the family schedule.
