Steve Miller was the President and CEO of the Professional Bowlers Association until the fall of 2005.

He retired from Nike as director of global sports marketing relations in September 2000, after nine years with the company.

While at Nike, Miller held several positions including director of athletics, director of U.S. sports marketing, director of sports marketing for the Asia Pacific region, and director of NCAA sports marketing. From September 1992 to October 1994, Miller led his division to over 500 percent growth for the period. From June 1998 to September 2000, he oversaw Nike's $100 million investment in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, while directing the company's marketing investments and strategies throughout the Asia Pacific region.

Prior to his work at Nike, Miller served from 1988 to 1992 as director of athletics at Kansas State University, where he led an effort to turn one of the country's most losing football programs into a top-five nationally ranked team. He also supervised the expansion of the university's athletic facilities, which included a new 13,500-seat basketball arena, a total football renovation, and new indoor and outdoor tracks. Previously, from 1981 to 1987, Miller served as head coach for the track and field and cross country teams at Kansas State. Prior to Kansas State, Miller was the head coach of track and field and cross country at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo where he led the Mustangs to consecutive NCAA Division II National Championships.

He currently sits on the Board of Directors of numerous organizations including the Pro Bowlers Association, the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, the Oregon Sports Authority, the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon, PowerPlate International, The Oregon Sports Hall of Fame, and has spoken at more than 100 universities and businesses throughout the world on topics ranging from Motivation to Executive Leadership.

Miller is a former track and field star, was named NCAA Coach of the Year five times, and is a member of five halls of fame, most recently inducted into the Track and Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame. He has a BS degree in English literature and physical education from Bradley University and an MS in science, physical education and biomechanical analysis from Cal Poly/San Luis Obispo.
