Ray's Bio | Tom's Bio | How Miller and Houck Met
Introduction

Ray Miller and Tom Houck, two of Atlanta’s best known personalities, bring to their firm more than 60 years of experience in Georgia business, media, public relations, public affairs, governmental and community service.

Conservative Republican Ray Miller has a proven track record of service - shaping and building Georgia’s Republican Party and his own successful business venture. Ray, as founder of Armada Vans, grew the company into the largest special vehicle rental firm in the Southeast.

Liberal Democrat Tom Houck, as a panelist on Fox 5’s Georgia Gang, columnist for Creative Loafing and WGST Radio talk show host, has chronicled people, politics, and parties since 1976. Once a driver for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his family, Tom has extensive ties to America’s civil rights movement and has close friendships with several of its leaders and legends.

Now, Ray and Tom are bringing their extensive talents and contacts under one roof -- MILLER HOUCK.

Our new firm is designed to meet the needs of a changing Georgia. We are fully aware that some might find a conservative Republican and liberal Democrat to be strange bedfellows. Perhaps so. But with our vast knowledge of the inner workings of state, county and local government, MH can provide clients with contacts and essential information they cannot attain using any other firm.

A Bipartisan approach to passing legislation, finding solutions to difficult issues, and shaping and influencing policy in both the public and private sectors is a calling we regard with great respect.

Give us a call and let us explain what we can do for you.




Baseball and politics was the magical combinationthat cemented a 15 year friendship between Republican Ray Miller and Democrat Tom Houck.

Back in 1992 Ray Miller proposed to Tom Houck - then a talk-show host on WGST Radio - that Houck come to Baseball Heaven at the Braves Spring Training Camp in West Palm Beach. Baseball Heaven is a spring training camp for die-hard fans who take to the field and play in fantasy baseball games as if they were big leaguers.

Miller, a first base player of some renown, and Houck, once a fairly decent catcher decided that it would be a good idea to place a friendly hundred dollar bet.  The loser was to donate the money to the winner's favorite political cause

Houck’s choice was the ACLU and Miller’s choice was the Southeastern Legal Foundation. However, the race wasn’t even close. A rusty Houck succumbed to a much more seasoned Miller and lost the bet. Houck fired off a hundred dollar check to SLF and the rest, as they say, is history.

*Over the years every time Houck wrote about the Southeastern Legal Foundation in a negative way in Creative Loafing, he was hounded by letters to the editor reminding readers he once contributed to SLF.
