Founder and CEO

Commander Miller directed, managed, and operated small and large research vessels during a distinguished 20+ year tenure as a uniformed officer in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), from which he retired in 2019.

80% of proposed ocean science research projects are not happening due to the massive cost and limited availability of research vessels, which are mostly large ships. Few smaller vessels are available at affordable rates to meet the basic needs of the majority of science at sea. Science essential to understanding our changing oceans and climate.
