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 9 years, from the 4th grade all the way through my high school graduation in 2000.

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

ChadToday I work as an software programmer and project manager for a company called Red Velvet Software, which mainly does contract work for other programming shops, and product work for various niche markets like workboat companies and medical equipment designers. The projects I work on here will be used all over the world and by people in all sorts of different professions.

Fortunately, my job allows me to do all my work from home, so I can be present with Sarah and Katie throughout the day. This is a big deal, because I’m very fond of both of them!

I’m also in the process of starting a performing arts consulting company called The Clambford Group with several other performing arts professionals. The idea is that we, as very experienced theatre-runners, can come into performing arts businesses around the world and help them to fill in their weak places, like management, technology, production, and education.
