Gregg Miller, inventor of Neuticles,[1] was born in Independence, Missouri on April 28, 1953.
He is a graduate of Truman High School and received his Bachelor of Science degree in Communications from Central Missouri State University in 1976.
Miller began his career as a general assignment reporter for the Tipton Times in Tipton, Missouri. After a year he became managing editor of the Trenton (Missouri) Republican Times - a six day PM daily. He accepted a city editor position for the Loveland Reporter-Herald and later became Assistant Communications Director at the home office of Western Auto Supply Company in Kansas City.
Miller started an advertising agency in the early 1980s which led to his interest in consumer product inventions. His desire was to create, manufacture and distribute new products that had never existed before. In 1992 Miller created patented Neuticles- testicular implants for pets. His love of animals and objection to the traditional form of neutering prompted him to risk everything for its development. After spending nearly $500,000 Neuticles were introduced in 1995. To date over 300,000 pets worldwide have been Neuticled providing pet owners an option when altering their pet.
Miller recently had his book: Going Going NUTS! published which details his invention of Neuticles[2] and was awarded the IG Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2005.[1]
Miller resides outside Kansas City, Missouri with his Boxer dog named Winston.
