Researcher and Writer
During his undergraduate studies at BYU, DeMille worked as a seminar presenter, researcher and writer at the Meadeau View Institute, a constitutionalist organization in Duck Creek, Utah, for which he wrote pamphlets on international relations and political science that were later published in an anthology entitled The Constitutional Paradigm and the New World Order.
DeMille is co-founder of The Center for Social Leadership, an action organization "dedicated to healing society, preserving freedom, and ensuring peace and prosperity for humanity,", with its motto, "Empowering Ordinary Citizens to Make an Extraordinary Difference." His recent writings in the genre of political commentary reflect a self-described independent political view, with frequent advocacy of entrepreneurship and education as solutions to various economic and societal ills. His non-political writings have recurring themes of leadership, family, education, freedom and prosperity.
DeMille also speaks at seminars and conventions, and is a featured presenter with the "Face-to-Face With Greatness" seminar series designed to introduce parents and students to historical examples and methods of improving one's self-education experience. In recent years DeMille's work has primarily been as an author and blogger.

“I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life, specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown, and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back, turn back, youll die if you venture too far.”
—Erica Jong, U.S. author. In an essay in The Writer on Her Work, ch. 13 (1980)
