Myers was born in Iowa City, Iowa. He attended Iowa State University, the University of Iowa, and Kirkwood Community College and is a businessman. A Democrat, he served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 1994 to 2005 (49th district from 1994 to 2003 and 30th district in 2003).[2] Myers was first elected to the state house in a February 1994 special election called after Robert Dvorsky resigned to contest a state senate seat.
