His experience in close quarters combat combined with his proven leadership ability will be invaluable to us.”
GEN Miller is a graduate of the United States Military Academy and was commissioned as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army. After completing Ranger school, he was assigned to a platoon in 3rd Battalion, 325th Infantry (Airborne), 82nd Airborne Division.

“It is an honor to join the team at SIG Sauer. While I served on active duty, I’ve always been a proponent of ensuring that our service members had the right lethal capabilities available to them in order to safeguard our national interests, and I note the relentless focus from the SIG Sauer team in ensuring their requirements are met,” Miller said.
