I'll put my career ahead of everything but my family, the people I love come first, and so it can wait until everyone's healthy again. You can't cuddle a career, it won't love you back."(For the full interview see the December issue of Brazilian Caras Magazine) Miles Meadows is currently a medical first responder for the City Of Vancouver
