Why is Walla Walla a good fit?
Walla Walla is, and always has been, a wonderful place to raise a family. While my wife Shannon and I only have one child remaining at home, we can think of no better place for us. Also, with Shannon having deep family roots (the Haun and Meliah families) in Walla Walla, it is something of a homecoming for us.
What are your hobbies and interests?
I am an avid reader, especially novels, love to play golf and have an interest in politics.
Why have you dedicated your life to public education?
In our country, public education helps to perpetuate our democracy and helps fuel the most incredible economy in the history of the world.
Also, every child has the ability to better his or her life and that usually happens through education.
What is your philosophy on leadership?
All people need to be treated with dignity and respect. Further, we must all work hard at both nurturing and attending to our relationships.
Tell us about The Miller Family:
My wife of 25 years, Shannon, is a Trio Specialist at Walla Walla Community College. Kate, age 23, is a UW graduate working in Seattle; Donny, age 22, is a senior at WSU; and Mary, age 16, is a senior at Walla Walla High School.
