Michael Joseph Miller of Milton, Fla., was hired August 25, 2008 to the Public Information Office as the Assistant Public Information Officer and Sports Information Director at Northeast Mississippi Community College.

Miller, who has been involved with sports all of his life, fell even deeper into love with the sports world in high school at Milton High School in Milton, Fla., where the student population consists of almost 2,000 students.

Miller was a three-year letterman in varsity football and track and field. He played quarterback and safety for the Panthers head coach Carl Madison and was selected First-Team All Santa Rosa County safety, and First-Team All North West Florida safety his senior year, while also receiving The Most Valuable Player award for football in 1995. Miller was the 4-A District champion in the 300 meter hurdles and was the Vice-President of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes his senior year.

After graduating from Milton High School in May of 1995, Miller joined the United States Navy in September of that same year and served in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii as a Torpedomans Mate. Miller received an honorable discharge in 1998 along with the National Defense Ribbon from the Gulf War and the Good Conduct Medal for his faithful service to the country.

Upon completing his duty to the Navy, Miller decided to return to school and pursue his education and athletic aspirations.

He found his way to Northeast Mississippi Community College in the spring of 1999, and soon began his journey to fulfill his academic and athletics aspirations as a Tiger.

As a student-athlete for Northeast playing football for the Tigers, Miller was coached by head coach Laurin Collins during the 1999 and 2000 seasons. Despite being plagued by knee injuries (torn ACL's), he entered both seasons atop the depth chart at free safety. Miller graduated early in the fall of 2000 and was on the Dean’s List with an associate’s degree in physical education from Northeast.

After Northeast, Miller went on to play football and pursue his higher educational goals at Troy State University and lettered in Division I-A football in 2002-03. He graduated from Troy on the Dean’s List in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism mentoring in Media Relations and Sports Information.

Miller spent one year in the Sports Information Department at Troy as an intern for the Sports Information Director Tom Strothers. He also worked part-time for the Troy State Television Department as a student-reporter, cameraman, anchorman, master control room operator, and writer for three years before graduation. As part of his work with TSU-TV, Miller was chosen to represent Troy at the WAKA 8 television station in Montgomery, Ala., as a sports anchor for a contest of amateur sports anchors. He was selected as the third best anchor out of countless of contestants by the viewing audience in 2003.

Miller worked for the Unity Broadcasting Network in Booneville in 2004 as a master control operator, cameraman, anchor, reporter, writer, and as an advertising sales representative in the public relations department.

After his work in journalism, Miller spent four years from 2004 to 2008 working for the United States government at Miltec Missiles and Space A Ducommun Company in Iuka. He worked as a Missiles Mechanical Technician/Inventory Clerk and was also the Media Relations representative for the Iuka facilities reporting to the home office public relations department in Huntsville, Ala.

Miller decided to get back to his first love, journalism, and came on board with Northeast Mississippi Community College in August of 2008.

His responsibilities at Northeast include handling all sports information duties and assisting with public information while working for the associate vice president of Public Information Tony Finch. 

Miller and his wife Sabrina have two children, Elias Jude, 4 and Lydia Diane, 16 months, and are members of Calvary Apostolic/Holiness Church in Corinth.
