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.

“Night City was like a deranged experiment in Social Darwinism, designed by a bored researcher who kept one thumb permanently on the fast-forward button. Stop hustling and you sank without a trace, but move a little too swiftly and you’d break the fragile surface tension of the black market; either way, you were gone ... though heart or lungs or kidneys might survive in the service of some stranger with New Yen for the clinic tanks.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“In times like ours, where the growing complexity of life leaves us barely the time to read the newspapers, where the map of Europe has endured profound rearrangements and is perhaps on the brink of enduring yet others, where so many threatening and new problems appear everywhere, you will admit it may be demanded of a writer that he be more than a fine wit who makes us forget in idle and byzantine discussions on the merits of pure form ...”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
