Our Story
IGM's founder Tyler Miller grew up with humble beginnings in the small rural community of Mt. Eaton Ohio. As a child, his entrepreneurial spirit was discovered is his obsession with collecting, valuing, and selling sports cards. At the young age of 12, Tyler set up a card stand and was practicing his salesmanship with the neighbors and the local community. "I created different card packages and never let a customer leave without getting a card they loved". Tyler also has a passion for art that has trained his mind to think outside the box and see things from many perspectives. In college, Tyler studied mechanical engineering where his biggest take away was the skill to break down a problem to discover the best possible solution. Once out of college Tyler has served as a lean manufacturing manager and has managed marketing for brick and mortar stores as well as e-commerce sites. Utilizing these combined experiences Tyler's true love is to help businesses reach their truest unknown potential.
