Driven: An Autobiography

Driven: An Autobiography

When he was sixteen years old, Larry Miller came home one night to find his possessions sitting in three bags on the porch of his darkened house. The door was locked. Out of those troubled, humble beginnings rose a man whose influence has touched thousands, perhaps even millions. From parts manager to general manager to dealership owner, his rise in the car business was legendary. So was his front-row presence at Utah Jazz games after he bought the NBA team to ensure it would stay in Utah. The incredible scope of his efforts, both as an entrepreneur and as a humanitarian, is difficult to measure. Seven months before Miller passed away, he began working with Doug Robinson on this biography. Written in first person, it presents the many facets of Miller s life and legacy and speaks candidly about the people and circumstances that influenced him. It shares lessons painful as well as joyful lessons he learned from his experiences. A foreword by Utah Jazz great John Stockton, and a moving epilogue by Miller s wife, Gail, round out the picture of a man who was extraordinary and simple, intense and compassionate, visionary and generous and driven.
