His father was a paratrooper in the United States Army's 82nd Airborne Division and a former amateur boxer.

He made his mixed martial arts debut at the age of 17, forgoing his senior prom, to fight 27-year-old Al "Superman" Dill in a Virginia Beach event. Miller won by unanimous decision and embarked on a career in professional mixed martial arts.
