MILLER GYMNASTICS

Coach Miller

Many Blessings from God:  Hard to believe my first involvement with gymnastics was over 52 years ago.  My journey has taken me all over the USA, Canada, and some international locations.  I've had the privilege of meeting and working side by side with many National, World, and Olympic athletes; and most importantly their coaches.  This amazing journey has taught me that gymnastics is not just a sport but is a life style that can teach us many great things in our lives.  These experiences have encouraged and inspired me in other parts of my life including:  US Airforce, EMT Trianing, Massage Therapy School, NCAA Coaching,  Martial Art Training, Camp Director, Master Staff / Clinician, Adjunct Professor at RI College, Essential Oils Rep. and owner of Miller Gymnastics Inc.  Below are pictures and backgound infomation on some of my experiences.  Enjoy........
