D. L. Miller is originally from Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He served in the United States Air Force, and is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh. Mr. Miller traveled and worked in much of the world as a teacher and engineer. He was employed by Westinghouse Defense and Space Center (now Northrop/Grumman) for more than 30 years, where he says he worked on “underseas programs, space programs, and everything in-between.” Much of his career was spent in the Middle East among the very culture (and religion) of which he writes.
