Milliman served as Cornell's defensive coordinator early in his tenure, but seamlessly transitioned to the offensive side and quickly turned the Big Red into one of the most dangerous teams in the nation. Cornell finished fifth in the nation in scoring offense in 2019 (14.3) and the Big Red were averaging 18.4 goals per game when the 2020 season ended.
"I want to thank Jennifer Baker and the search committee for the opportunity to serve as the men's lacrosse coach at Johns Hopkins," Milliman stated. "This program has a long-standing tradition of success and I will look to build upon the legacy of that success both on and off the field. Serving this program is an incredible honor and I am looking forward to getting to work right away."
Before landing at Cornell, Milliman had successful assistant coaching stops at RIT (2006, 2008), Siena (2007), and Princeton (2013). In his four seasons at those schools he helped his teams to a combined record of 45-22 with a 9-6 mark at Princeton in 2013 immediately preceding his time at Cornell.
Milliman had his first head coaching stint from 2009-12 at Division II Pfeiffer. There, he led the Falcons to a pair of appearances in the Conference Carolinas title game in 2011 and 2012 and was twice named the conference coach of the year (2009, 2011).
Milliman was a three-time All-American at Gettysburg and helped the Bullets to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Division III Championship game during his career (2001, 2002). He finished his career at Gettysburg ranked second in school history in points (232), fifth in goals (138) and third in assists. He remains one of just three players in Bullet history with more than 125 goals and 90 assists.
After completing his career at Gettysburg, Milliman went on to play four seasons for the Rochester Rattlers in Major League Lacrosse. The Rattlers won the MLL title during his last season with the team in 2008.
Milliman served as an assistant coach of the United States Indoor National Team in 2019 and was the head coach of the Russian National Team in 2014, when it made its debut at the FIL World Championships.
A native of Rochester, New York, Milliman and his wife, Megan, have two daughters, Reese and Lake.
