Executive Leadership
Aaron T. Miller
Founder & Executive Director
Aaron T. Miller is a public administrator, researcher, military veteran, and civic leader whose work is grounded in the Christian moral tradition and a commitment to ordered liberty, institutional integrity, and responsible self-government.
He serves as an elected County Commissioner in Maury County, Tennessee, bringing firsthand experience navigating the practical constraints of local government, public administration, and community development. Aaron is completing a Doctor of Public Administration (DPA) integrating empirical research with a Christian understanding of human dignity, stewardship, and the limits of political authority.
As a veteran of the United States Air Force and the Air National Guard, his military service has reinforced a professional ethic shaped by Christian principles of vocation: disciplined execution, respect for lawful authority, and care for those entrusted to one's leadership.
"Seeking not power for its own sake, but faithful administration oriented toward the common good."
