Kevin Miller officially started his career in 1973 at Miller Pipeline, an Ohio company started by his uncle and father in 1953. Unofficially, he had already been working at Miller Pipeline sweeping the floors and performing other chores after school.  Kevin has worked in nearly every capacity at Miller Pipeline since then beginning as a general laborer. Over the next ten years, he advanced to operator and foreman, eventually moving up the ladder to superintendent, general superintendent, and vice president. It was during this time that Kevin embraced  innovations like HDD, CIPP, fold and form, internal joint seals and pipe bursting.

In 2004, he was appointed President and Chief Operating Officer where he recognized the value of trenchless in industries other than natural gas, including the water and sewer industries. He has continuously pushed his teams to think outside the box for the best solution for a customer even if it did not serve Miller Pipeline the best.

Ultimately, Kevin provided many opportunities for manufacturers to test new products in the real world.  Without this proving ground, advancement and improvements of many tools of the trade would definitely have had a longer path to fruition. Kevin led Miller Pipeline’s growth from a small, regional natural gas distribution contractor to a large contractor with a presence across the country that is admired as a best in class contractor in many fields.  Kevin continues to serve the industry as Miller Pipeline’s Senior Advisor.

Miller Pipeline would not be the company it is today and many leaders within Miller Pipeline would not be where they are today without Kevin Miller’s 50 years dedicated to the advancement of trenchless technology.
