Jim Miller - CEO

Job Titles:
  • CEO
  • Owner
Jim Miller's dad was a Little Debbie Snack Cake distributor in Arkansas in the 70's. One of Jim's tasks each year was to pop bubbles out of the decals on the side of the delivery truck with a needle and smooth them out. After a couple of years of doing this, Jim told his dad to tell the bakery to send the decals to them and he would figure out a way to put them on the truck. Miller Decals began in 1979 when Jim lined up his first decal on the side of his dad's truck at the age of 15. There were several snack cake distributors in the area. Over the next several years Jim continued his work smoothing out the bubbles. In 1982, while living near Jackson, Mississippi, Jim was pursuing a graphics arts degree at Hinds Community College. A business owner approached Jim's teacher asking if any students had any experience applying decals. Jim accepted the job with Stewart's Sandwich Shop applying decals to their delivery trucks. Miller Decals then officially became a business. In 1996, the Olympics were held in Atlanta. It was the place to work in the graphics and sign business, so Jim decided to move the company. The Olympics kept him very busy and he made some great contacts with local businesses. Over time, he expanded to include all types of graphics and signage installation: vehicle wraps, ADA sign installation, textured surface vinyl application, wall, window, and floor graphics, banners, post and panel signs, etc. He loved a challenge and accepted jobs that enabled him to learn new techniques and evolve. Jim Miller is the co-chief visionary at Miller Decals, LLC, the largest exclusive vinyl installation company in Atlanta, Georgia. Jim has been installing vinyl since 1979. For over four decades he has performed an extensive array of roles as a competitor and/or judge, TV show cast member, board member, brand representative for numerous trade shows, teacher, technician, and Allstar wrapper straight out of Compton, CA. He is known globally for his ability to make wrapping "look so easy". In 2016 he became the 1st American to win the title of World Wrap Master. At home he is surrounded by women; his wife, Starla, and three daughters, Brittney (28), Kiley (21), and Audrey (18).
