He is a past local president and a past regional president of the organization. Through UCT he has coached several youth soccer teams and helped establish a youth golf tournament. He currently serves as the council’s volunteer coordinator.

Milliser graduated from The Ohio State University with a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, Nutrition in 1975, and a master’s degree, thesis tract, in Research and Evaluation in 1987. He was employed by The Ohio State University for 36 years and retired in 2009.

In addition to his longtime UCT commitment, Milliser is an active and dedicated member of the Pickerington Lions Club, where he progressed through the chairs to serve as president and on the executive board. Ken has always had a great love for singing and has performed in choirs while attending Berne Union High School and Ohio University. In 1966 he was a member of The Ohio State Fair Youth Choir and as a choir alumni toured Europe in 1967 and marched and sang in the 1975 Rose Bowl Parade.
