Randy Miles


Founder & President, Total Cannabis Solutions


“Staying true to the plant means staying true to the people — and the purpose.”


Randy Miles brings over 45 years of entrepreneurial experience into the heart of Total Cannabis Solutions — experience that spans hospitality, global security, community development, and now, conscious cannabis innovation.


A lifelong builder, Randy has led more than 20 business ventures, ranging from neighborhood restaurants to multinational enterprises. But it is in hemp and cannabis — and the communities that surround them — where his deepest purpose was planted. His passion lies in helping others reconnect to the healing power of the plant through regenerative farming, clean product development, and intentional business design.


Randy has worked directly with publicly traded cannabis companies, infrastructure design teams, and farmers across the U.S., helping bring organic, vertically integrated systems to life. At TCS, his focus is on the CBD and hemp space, where he believes the plant’s future is most aligned with wellness, sustainability, and education.


He currently serves on the National Hemp Industry Association's advisory panel, tasked with providing regulatory recommendations to the FDA regarding hemp product labeling and policy. This direct connection ensures that TCS remains at the forefront of hemp regulation and national wellness advocacy.


Beyond cannabis, Randy is a tireless community contributor — having co-founded local festivals, chaired business improvement committees, and championed causes ranging from veteran wellness to small farm survival.


Whether in the boardroom, the field, or the community, Randy brings the same guiding principle to every relationship: lead with integrity, serve with humility, and grow something that lasts.
