What Colleagues say About Us
“Dave Miller played a huge role in my career. It was Dave who took a chance on me and offered me the opportunity to do college basketball at ESPN. I was very young and inexperienced, but Dave stuck with me and gave me the encouragement and guidance I needed as I tried to improve. He knows how to work with announcers to help them get better. I would recommend to any announcer that time with Dave would be time well spent”
Dan ShulmanESPN MLB, College Basketball
"...JV accelerated my development as a broadcaster significantly. He not only brings out your best on-air, but he provides you with different perspectives that help you better understand the dynamics of the broadcast. His experience directing, producing, editing, and coordinating is relatively unrivaled and it helped me have a wider appreciation and understanding of every show. Most of all, he’s a great dude and I’m lucky and grateful to call him a friend."
Greg McElroy Alabama Football National Champion & ESPN CFB Analyst
“I was privileged to work under Dave Miller for many years at ESPN, and Dave is as good as it gets with talent. He’s incredibly skilled at seeing how to make you better, to sharpen your edges. A lifetime in big-time sports broadcasting and a deft touch with people always separates Dave. I never ended a conversation with Dave without feeling I had improved in some facet of my on-air performance. He remains a “go-to” for me.”
Dave O'BrienESPN, ACC Network, NESN Red Sox Baseball
“JV taught me early on to always explain the how & why when wearing the color analyst hat. Still being very new to this industry, I have so appreciated JV's willingness to help me learn and grow in my role while finding ways to connect and attract new viewers to the sport of women's lacrosse.”
Dana Boyle ESPN/ACC Network Lacrosse Analyst
“Dave Miller is the very best. When I arrived at ESPN I had no idea about what traits made a good analyst. I needed to be coached. He mentored me and helped me transition to my new career. I can’t imagine where I would be without his guidance and coaching. If you are serious about really learning the how's, why's, and what to do, I would strongly recommend him.”
Seth GreenbergESPN College Basketball
“I have … never been more inspired to give my absolute best than I am when following JV's leadership. He exhibits a passionate pursuit of excellence at the same time expressing a love for each individual on his team by pushing us to be better each and every broadcast.”
Tim JohnsonNational Wrestling Hall of Fame & ESPN Analyst
“If you’re serious about taking your on-air skills to the next level, there’s no more qualified, talented or genuine individual to help you get there than Dave Miller. Dave’s constructive critiques, based on decades of experience as a senior TV executive, will not only improve your broadcasts, they will instill in you the confidence needed to perform at your highest level. They most certainly did for me!”
Kevin ConnorsESPN MLB, College Football, College Basketball, SportsCenter
“I would easily put JV in the top 5% of the special people I've been able to work for. He is truly an uncommon individual with outstanding leadership qualities that can't be taught, only experienced and learned. JV has the skills necessary to organize complex projects with a variety of individuals. He has the ability to “move the needle” by assessing the situation and relating every member of the team to maximize their ability to achieve a common goal.”
Dan HawkinsHead Coach, University of California-Davis & former ESPN CFB Analyst
