Miller had been an avid outdoorsman, a computer technician, a small business owner and an extreme sports enthusiast who enjoyed power paragliding, but he is perhaps best known as the Fan Man, who flew into and disrupted professional sporting events such as a 1993 boxing match between Riddick Bowe and Evander Holyfield in Las Vegas.
James "Fan Man" Miller (1963 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1963)—2002 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002)) was a parachutist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute) from Henderson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henderson%2C_Nevada), Nevada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada), who became famous after he landed inside the ring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_ring) where the rematch boxing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing) fight between Evander Holyfield (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evander_Holyfield) and Riddick Bowe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riddick_Bowe) was being held on November 6 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_6), 1993 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993), at Las Vegas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas%2C_Nevada).
