Miles McPherson Biography

Born in Brooklyn and raised in Long Island, Miles McPherson grew up in a large family and after excelling in football throughout high school, he attended the University of New Haven where he majored in engineering. McPherson was the university’s first player to achieve All-American honors in football and be drafted into the NFL.

McPherson played four years in the NFL with the San Diego Chargers from 1982-1985 and retired shortly after giving up a years-long drug addiction in one day. He then went back to school in 1991 for his Master’s degree and worked as a Youth Pastor for Horizon Christian Fellowship in San Diego and in 2000, he felt called by God to start the Rock Church in San Diego. Today, the Rock Church has 7 campuses, and it gives over 4 million hours of volunteer service to their county each year.

After the release of his 3 other books, McPherson’ latest book “The Third Option” speaks out about the pervasive racial divisions in today’s culture. It argues that we must learn to see people not by the color of their skin but as humans with equally valuable humanity. In addition, McPherson created The Third Option Similarity Training which is designed to help individuals and organizations focus their attention on similarities, rather than differences. It endeavors to help people develop honoring relationships with those of different racial and ethnic backgrounds.

McPherson has worked countless private and public organizations. A few examples include the International Association of Chiefs of Police, The League of Minnesota Cities, The City of Jacksonville North Carolina, The San Diego Zoo Alliance, and The Classical Academies.

Miles McPherson Speaking Topics

  • The Third Option: Celebrating our Differences while Uniting in Honor

    We live in an us-versus-them culture. It can be ethnically, or it can be politically. You can be for CNN or for Fox. The world we live in has caused us to think there are only two options. However, there is a third option: This is an option where we honor and place value on what we have in common.

    We have more things in common than our differences. We all want to have relationships. We all want to have a nice house and nice car. We all want to have a family.

    Miles discusses The Third Option in his presentation, and introduces how this transformative solution addresses the root of these disputes and concerns by honoring our similarities while celebrating our differences. Miles shares his own divers past, and gives real life solutions to an issue that we all face.

    The Third Option tenets are outlined in a book Miles authored in 2018. At the end of his presentation, individuals will have knowledge and tools to navigate through our diverse world while treating others and themselves with honor.
