He was named team captain as a senior in 2006 and went on to win the program's Outstanding Varsity Oarsman award that season.
 
Miller has enjoyed a highly-successful international career, which culminated in a first-place finish in the eight at the 2012 Final Olympic Qualification Regatta and a trip to the Olympics in London.

A year later, Miller finished second in the double sculls at the National Selection Regatta No. 2, and he captured eighth in the quadruple sculls at both the World Rowing Championships and the Rowing World Cup stop in Lucerne.
 
Miller was highly decorated in 2011, winning the double sculls at the National Selection Regatta No. 2. He also won the single sculls at the West Coast Spring Speed Order. Internationally, he finished 11th in the double sculls at the Rowing World Cup stop in Lucerne, reached the semifinals of the Double Sculls Challenge Cup at the Henley Royal Regatta, and finished fifth in the double sculls at the Rowing World Cup stop in Munich.
 
In 2012, Miller captured his Olympic dream, finishing third in the pair at the National Selection Regatta No. 2 before winning the eight at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta to advance to the London Games.
