Born in Barrington Illinois, Miller attended Barrington High School, where he graduated in 2003 and finished his prep career with 100 points, on 36 goals and 28 assists. He attended University of Notre Dame and as a fifth year senior in 2007, he was a Second Team NSCAA All-American and earned CoSIDA First Team Academic All-American honors. He finished his time with the Fighting Irish with 86 straight starts, the most in the team's history. During his college years, Miller also played for Chicago Fire Reserves, Nevada Wonders and Indiana Invaders in the USL Premier Development League.

Miller was originally drafted by Columbus Crew in the third round (31st overall) of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft and made seven reserve team appearances for the club before being released. He was signed via waivers by D.C. United on September 15, 2008, and made his D.C. debut on October 1, 2008, in a CONCACAF Champions League match against Primera Division de Mexico side Cruz Azul. Miller made a total of three appearances for United, including two starts, all coming in the CONCACAF Champions League. One week into the 2009 MLS season, Miller was waived by D.C. United.
