Herman Miller is an American computer programmer and composer. Miller was born on November 22, 1964. He became interested in music very early in life and began taking piano lessons around age six. He attended Michigan University from 1983 to 1987 and minored in music taking courses on composition theory and electronic music. After college, Miller worked for Origin Systems from 1987 to 2000. When OSI was dropped from their parent company, Electronic Arts, Miller started working for THQ. Currently, Senior Miller is the senior gameplay programmer at Insomniac Games, a position he's held since September, 2009.
