Fordham Prep Swimming Coach Dominick
Galimi ’92 caught up with Prep alumni
Greg ’08 and John Accarino ’10 between
swimming sessions at the U.S. Olympic Trials
in Omaha, Nebraska. Six Fordham Prep alumni
competed in the Olympic Trials.
Commander Miller ’88 Retires from Coast Guard
Commander Miller currently served as the Chief of Prevention
for Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay in Philadelphia, PA. There
he oversaw a highly talented workforce of 89 Active Duty,
Reserve, and Civilian personnel at Sector, Marine Safety
Detachment Lewes, DE, and Aid to Navigation Teams
Philadelphia, PA and Cape May, NJ, to manage and execute the
Coast Guard Prevention activities across the three states
surrounding the Delaware River and Bay to prevent loss of life
and property. He was always about preventing loss of life.
Previously, Dennis was assigned
to U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters
in Washington, DC, where he
served as a Traveling Marine
Inspector in the Prevention
Directorate as well as the Sector
Program sponsor for the Office
of Shore Forces in the Capabilities
Directorate. He also developed
the Coast Guard’s Feeder Port
Audit Program, the Marine Safety
Mission Support Committee,
made improvements to the
Marine Safety Insignia, and supervised the Towing Vessel
National Center of Expertise. Also, during his Coast Guard
Headquarters tour, he was deployed to the Deepwater Horizon
MC252 Oil Spill Response in 2010 and acted as the Vessel
Decontamination Lead for more than 3000 vessels. He said, “it
was easy.”
A native of the Bronx, NY, Dennis graduated from Fordham
Preparatory School in 1988 and SUNY Maritime College in 1995
with a Bachelor of Science in Facility Engineering and a Third
Assistant Engineer Merchant Marine License. He joined the
Coast Guard Reserve in 1992 and entered into active duty upon
commissioning. He later received the Turek Award and
Department of Homeland Security Award for Excellence. Much
later, Dennis earned a Master of Public Administration degree
from Troy University and also became a Certified and Registered
Quality Auditor with IRCA in London, UK.
Dennis is a “double-ended” Senior Marine Inspector qualified in
16 vessel types. He is at his very heart a Marine Safety Officer,
although he has been known to dabble in training, auditing,
planning, oil spill response, budgeting, and Search and Rescue.
His previous assignments include a tour at Sector Los
Angeles/Long Beach as the Chief of Inspections where he
influenced national policy on Inert Gas Systems and
implemented the Transport Workers Identification Credential,
Training Center Yorktown as an Instructor and Marine Inspector
Course Administrator where he authored and implemented
much of the initial vessel security course material, Marine Safety
Office Houston-Galveston as the Assistant Chief of the Domestic
Branch and Assistant Senior Investigating Officer where he ate
far too many crawfish and was almost attacked by alligators, but
also detained a record 30 vessels in 45 days, and started at
Marine Inspection Office New York (later Activities New York) as
a Marine Inspector where he stayed out of trouble (but still
managed to find trouble) for the majority of his entire tour.
Commander Miller is the recipient of four Coast Guard
Commendation Medals, two Coast Guard Achievement Medals,
and several other personal and unit awards. He has four
children: Wesley Ephraim, Julius Alexander, Vera and Wyndii, and
is married to his wonderful wife Mistyann, who is, both inside
and out, the most beautiful woman in the world and his best
friend. After retirement on July 11, 2016, he plans on staying in
the Philadelphia area to work in the maritime sector.
