Paul Miller, Ph.D. ’10
Biography
Paul's family moved to Las Vegas when he was five, and he very much considers Las Vegas home. Growing up, Paul aspired to be a professional 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ basketball player and loved going to elementary school if only because George Dare's "Runnin' Rebel Fever" was played at least twice a day during 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's run to the basketball championship. Paul attended two universities out of state before finally coming to his senses and attending 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ, where he received a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering under the direction of Tom Piechota. Paul worked for the Bureau of Reclamation and taught Introductory Hydrology courses at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ before accepting a promotion with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, Utah. While he likes his job, he's waiting for 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ basketball to give him a call and let him coach and/or play for the team. He and his wife, fellow alum Jessica Miller, help coordinate the Salt Lake City 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ regional network when they're not chasing around their two year old son, Isaac, Rebel class of 2037-ish.
