Patrick Miles
Director of Sales and Marketing & NFL Official
It is 1987, Pat was the Youth Sports Coordinator at a local YMCA and an official does not show up for a 3rd grade basketball game. So, he walked into the office, grabbed an official’s shirt, a whistle, a lanyard and as they say, “The rest is history!”
Today he is proud to be the Director of Sales and Marketing for Honig’s and an NFL Official. Pat has the pleasure to work with individual officials, officials’ associations, State High School Associations, camps, clinics, and attend events for officials and officiating leaders at all levels to discuss their needs for officials’ equipment and apparel.
Pat continues to officiate high school and college football and basketball, and work in the Officials/Game Day Assistants Department for the National Football League [NFL].
