About Chad

I was born on May 8, 1982 to David and Jan Miller in Limestone, Maine. This is near where my dad was stationed as an Air Force Tanker pilot at the time. Alas, I do not remember my time in Maine, as we soon moved to various Air Force Bases in Mississppi (where my only sibling, Shelley, was born), then to Alabama, and back to Mississippi.

I was homeschooled for 8 years, from the 4th grade all the way through my high school graduation in 2000. Belhaven CollegeAfter that, I went on to Belhaven College, where I majored in Computer Science and Mathematics. During my Freshman year, I got sucked into the Theatre department there, and after finishing my degrees in 2004, I decided to forego graduation for another year and a half to get a Theatre degree.

Sarah and I were actually at Belhaven together for exactly one semester, Fall 2005. We knew each other in passing, but never really got to know each other until after I graduated. We actually had a mutual friend Rachel, who brought Sarah over to my apartment a few times, and we also happened to go on the same Spring Break trip to Philadelphia, and the rest is history.

Upper 90 ComputerWhen Sarah and I got married, I was also changing jobs (and moving into a house). It was kind of crazy to be going through all of that at once, but every one of the changes was an improvement, so I don’t have much to complain about.

Today I work as a software programmer for a company called Upper 90 Systems, which mainly does GIS (Geographic Information Systems) work. The easiest way to describe GIS that it’s kind of like Google Earth, except that it’s infinitely more detailed. The project I’m working on will hopefully be used one day by all branches of the military, homeland security, and civil service.

I do manage to keep busy when I’m not working or spending time with Sarah! I’m the Company Manager for Gratuitous B Productions, a non-profit Performing Arts development company, I manage a professional physical theatre team called The Joshua Squad, I work bookings and technical direction for the extraordinary musician Lee Farrar Bailey, I am an occasional freelance photographer for VIP Jackson Magazine, and I’m in the process of getting a graphic design company started with a friend of mine (so if you know anyone that needs a website or other branded and designed material, let me know…).

To Sarah’s family and friends, I really look forward to getting to know each of you!
