After high school, I enlisted in the Army Reserves and went to Basic Training that fall. I served about one year active duty and another seven years in the active reserves. I attended college on the GI Bill. I went to MSSC (now MSSU) for two years and then transferred to SMSU (now MSU) graduating in May 1994 with a BS in Business Management. My plans of going for an MBA changed, when I saw all of the things happening, even at that time, in the corporate world. During college, and for a year or so after, I worked for Smitty's Supermarkets for a total of five years.
I bought my first house using my VA loan eligibility in Nov 1995, and soon after, began my career in real estate. I have been a full time agent ever since. In the beginning, well for quite a while, it was really rough. Truthfully, I still hate sales and always have. I do like learning and passing it on. I take an educational approach to real estate and help people make decisions during their life changing moments. Over the years, I just keep getting more & more referrals from past clients and business associates.
In the last few years, I have been trying to rebalance my life. Previously, I think I defined myself by this crazy 24/7/365 career. A few major life changes occured at age 35 for me, and from there on, a new chapter begins. I have been enjoying life and living a whole lot more. I really like being outside and getting away from it all. It is easy to find peace & serenity in nature: some trail hiking, some mountain biking, water sports, and some other stuff.
A few years back, I lost a lot of "stuff" in a house fire, so my thinking had already begun to change. This year, at Christmas time, I had another "A-ha moment", when I realized the absolute most important gift is the "gift of time."
Recently, I have been able to combine my passion of: nutrition, helping other people, and giving back to children in need, by joining a company called Terra Biotech. There are many opportunities out there for all of us, we just have to know which ones to take. This one is perfect for me. For more information go to www.myterrabiz.com/zachmiller. If you are interested in working with me to change your lifestyle, your income, your health, help other people, and help erase malnourishment in children, please let me know.
