I write about the people who stay.

Roy Miller is the younger of two boys, born to a hard-working mother in Mid-Michigan in the 1980's. He has mostly lived in that same area, with a brief stint in Chicago and a decade on the coast of Maine, and has found that the Midwest will always be the place he calls home.

Roy attended an alternative high school until the start of grade 12, where he dropped out shy of graduation and passed the adult GED program instead. His time in school was spent learning less about trigonometry and more about how the world works, how interpersonal connections can influence entire lives on a grand scale. He dabbled in university briefly, but as of yet has not obtained a degree.

2012 saw Roy and his family return to the Mid-Michigan area, and four years later, saw the reconnection with an old friend. Roy and Paige tied the knot in 2017 and have been living peacefully in middle-class luxury ever since.
