C.E.O. Michael Charles Miller was born on Jan.18,1985 at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St.Louis, Mo. 63130.

Growing up in the inner-city was rough and no joke but with my spiritual background and faith in God, I was blessed not to become a statistic. My freshman year in High School, I was in the Band playing the Trombone, Alto Saxophone, Percussion, and Piano at home. I also played Varsity Football, Varsity & Junior Varsity Basketball, and Tennis.

After my freshman year, my family and I relocated to South Pasadena, California, my sophomore year I attended South Pasadena in the suburbs for the first half of the year, then I transferred to a more predominantly black school, Pasadena High School (SponsoredBy And 1).

At Pasadena High School, I played Varsity Basketball, and Football up until my last 4 months of school, when I found out that I wasn’t going to walk for graduation with the rest of my class, due to my credits and S.A.T. scores.

While I was preparing to go to summer school and go to a Community College or D2 College to play ball, I got some disturbing news unexpectedly that my parents would be moving in a few days. Stuck in between a rock and a hard place, I had to make a conscious decision at 17 years old, on whether I would stay in California alone and go through a program like Job Corps or go with my parents. So, I chose to stay and figure things out.

My dad had me gather all my things, and he dropped me off at the L.A. Job Corps. Knowing that I had no money, no formal education, no high school diploma, or wealthy family members that I could call for financial support, I was determined to make something out of myself. So, I enrolled in the Job Corps G.E.D. program, studied hard and finally passed after 2 attempts.

While I was studying for my G.E.D., I also was enrolled in Business Technology. When I completed Job Corps successfully, I attended Eaglerock College, and later on, Pasadena City College, while working full-time, but with financial aid barely covering my education, and everyday bills expected and unexpected, that just wasn’t enough.

At the time, I was staying with a homeboy and his uncle’s family, paying rent, but because of his laziness which turned into jealousy, we fell out, and I was all of a sudden homeless.

I went to a shelter nearby and slept in my car the 1st few nights, then I let my pride go and took a bed for a couple weeks. After being fed up with my situation, I joined the United States Army.

Really, I had weed in my system at sign up, but my recruiter actually cared and bought me a jug of cranberry juice and water. He dropped me off and said I’ll be back in the morning to retest you, I was blessed to pass, and off I went.

My basic training was in Fort Knox, Kentucky. I completed and was deployed to Iraq. I also had a 2nd Tour that consisted of Kuwait, Germany, and predominantly South Korea.

Iraq was when Souljah100 Productions LLC actually 1st started and official back in 09, but because of war, everything was shut down – it lasted about 1 year.

I got married for the 2nd time then got divorced, but we had two beautiful children, Miklenn born August,18. 2011 (Son-Age 9), and Mihavalynn July 10, 2013 (Daughter-Age 7).

While in the military, I attended Vincennes University and accumulated more college credits, as well as Central Texas College. After I got out of the military, I decided to just stay in school, so I enrolled into Virginia College in Columbus, GA, graduating with an Associates Degree in Network Engineering, working part-time security, then after I completed that, I moved to Atlanta and enrolled in SAE Atlanta Institute.

I completed with a Diploma in Business Science of Audio Engineering, and now I am relocated back home in Missouri, ready to give back to my hometown by helping young men get their lives established, like I was blessed to.
