Miller is a "small town" boy from Snow Hill, Portland coming from humble background. “I come from a very poor family,” Miller said, “I was going down the misguided track and was idling, but then I reminded myself that I have to achieve something in life.” For him, the hospitality sector was an obvious choice, as he found that his mind-set to help and assist others could translate into good customer service and give him a chance to pursue his dreams.
