Outside of his civic duties, Miller coaches pre-K/Kindergarten recreation basketball, participates in community cleanups in town, and volunteers at Heart to Heart, a children’s special needs service center in Rochelle Park where he hosts karaoke for the children. In his free time, he is a boxing enthusiast who enjoys exploring new restaurants with his wife, singing karaoke, attending town-wide events with his family, and taking his mother out to lunch.
Miller and his wife Jessica love being part of the Rochelle Park community, where they’re raising their children Mila (4) and Max (1) among their great neighbors and friends.
Miller is dedicated to building a transparent local government that puts Rochelle Park residents first and gives them a voice in their community’s future.
