Never one to let his disabilities stop him, Ken Miller celebrates 40 years in the vending machine business
While Ken Miller was studying communications at Moorhead State University in the 1970s, the department chair sat down with him and told him a harsh truth.
He told Miller that he was a great student. He would grow and mature during his time at Moorhead State, but he would have difficulty finding a job because of his disability. Miller was blind from birth.
The reality of those words hit Miller when he graduated and entered the job market. He couldnât even get an interview. Although he was discouraged, Miller was determined to get a job. After all, he hadnât let anything else stop him before.

Why don’t you want my money?
