Kent Miller is a native of New Effington, SD and is a 1998 Sisseton High School graduate. He and his identical twin brother Brad have always been interested in things mechanical, and both received their mechanical engineering degrees from SDSU in 2003. Kent’s education, experience, and inventiveness have led to eight work-related patents, lots of hobby creations, some custom work, and more recently, a marketable invention.
The twins competed in the annual science fair in high school, and made it all the way to the International Science and Engineering Fair every year with their on-going test apparatus designs (including a home-made wind tunnel) to test lift and drag on airplane wings. They were also members of the SAE Formula race car design and competition team while at SDSU.
