He joined the Carbondale Fire Department as a firefighter in 1998, was upgraded to an arson investigator in 2006, and promoted to captain in 2018. Later that year Miller was promoted again, this time to assistant chief.

Before transitioning his career in Carbondale, Miller was a police officer in DeSoto for three years.
