I was born in Mitchell, South Dakota on February 19, 1980. I weighed
9 pounds, 15 ounces and was 23 inches long. I was a big baby so I didn't always have the nickname of Skinny.
Mitchell is a city (by SD standards) with a population of approximately 15,000. It is located in the southeastern part of the state along I-90. Agriculture and tourism are our most important industries. They go hand in hand as Mitchell is the home of the World's only Corn Palace. The building is decorated with murals of corn and other grains both inside and out. These murals change on a yearly basis. In the summer it is set up for tourism and in transformed in the winter to a basketball arena that seats 3,200 people. It is one of the best venues in the US for high school basketball and has been featured in the USA Today and SI. I am very fortunate to have played prep basketball in the worlds only Corn Palace.
My parents, Tom and Sheryl, are both educators. My father was a Middle School principal and my mother an elementary teacher. My dad played college basketball at DWU in Mitchell and like my days in Orlando, he wore number 50. I have two older brothers, Ryan and Jared, who also played college ball. Ryan was a high school all-stater and a Division II All-American. He is currently coaching at the University of Memphis under Coach John Calapari. Jared was also a high school all-stater and named preseason All-American by Street and Smith. He wore number 13, my high school and college number. Chelsey is the youngest and like her older brothers she played basketball. Her number was 32 which is Jared and Ryan's high school number. As you can see, the numbers we wear have a significance. I know wear number 33, the same number worn by the best shooter in NBA history, Larry Bird.
My number one hobby was playing basketball. When I did have a little free time growing up, I enjoyed hunting, fishing and golf. Mitchell is one of the best places in the world for pheasant hunting. Stars, such as Sly Stalone and Kevin Costner are known to hunt in South Dakota. I now enjoy watching football and boxing. I am an avid Minnesota Viking and Florida Gator fan. I enjoy watching Manny Pacquia, Floyd Mayweather and Bernard Hopkins. Jennifer, my wife, favorite fighter is Oscar De La Hoya.
When I was younger, I participated in baseball, track, and football as well as basketball. I was the pitcher on the baseball team, quarterback on the football team, and high jumped in track. As I entered high school I specialized more in basketball because it was my first love and I always dreamed of playing in the NBA.
I attended the University of Florida. This is where I met my wife, Jennifer. Jennifer was an All-American volleyball player at the University of Florida. Our first date was on Halloween my Freshman year. Jennifer set the Florida record in digs and ended her career with over 1,000 digs and 1,000 kills. We dated throughout my college days and got married on July 5, 2004 at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. On October 22, 2002 my first son, Mason Ace Miller, was born. Mason is growing like a weed and he definitely keeps Jen and I busy. My second son, Mavrick Mayz Miller, was born on July 2, 2004.
Both of my sons are already constantly playing with basketballs!!!
