After prepping at
New Orleans,
Louisiana's prestigious
Isidore Newman School where Miller was a standout performer on the school's renowned forensics team and in the same graduating class as noted author
Christopher Rice and
American Idol finalist
Judd Harris. He was a member of the U.S. Physics Team. Ed Miller received degrees in both Physics and Electrical Engineering from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2000. Initially, Miller worked as a
software developer for
Microsoft. After many months of
poker playing in the
Seattle area, Ed moved to
Las Vegas in 2002 where he met Dr. Alan Schoonmaker, the author of
The Psychology of Poker (). Schoonmaker introduced Ed to
David Sklansky and
Mason Malmuth of
Two Plus Two Publishing, LLC. Ed married Elaine Vigneault in 2005. In 2006, Miller was made over by the Fab Five of the
Bravo television show,
Queer Eye. The Queer Eye summary: "You can't be in Vegas without running into a card shark and Ed is that card shark. But you wouldn't know it by looking at him. The wild hair, the overgrown beard, and the overall unkempt look keeps Ed from looking like the high roller that he is. He has a nerdy look but nerdy can be cool. Unfortunately, Ed hasn't gotten the 'cool' part. Even more unfortunate, Ed's parents lost their home during the wrath of Hurricane Katrina. This is a great time for our boys to 'make better' Ed and throw a poker tournament benefiting the relief efforts in New Orleans." After living in Manhattan for two years, Miller now lives and works in Las Vegas. ==Books written by Ed Miller==
