David Miscavige Bio (Age)

David Miscavige was born as a twin on April 30.1960, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA. He is an American citizen but of Polish-Italian descent. David grew up with his twin sister Denise in their Catholic home in Willingboro Township, New Jersey. He also has an older brother, Ronald Miscavige Jr. and another sibling.

Growing up, David Miscavige played soccer and baseball. However, he suffered from asthma and severe allergies. After failing to find a cure in conventional medicine, his father consulted a Scientologist whose 45-minute Dianetics session cured all of his ailments. David’s family then left the Catholic Church for the Church of Scientology in 1971. They were so devoted to the religion that they moved to Saint Hill Manor in England, where they were based at Church headquarters.

David’s interest in Scientology grew so rapidly that the next year, at the age of 12, he headed exams departments and became the youngest ever to conduct a Scientology exam professionally. However, his family returned to Pennsylvania after a few years. He then enrolled at Marple Newtown in Delaware County for his high school education.

Scientology career

In 1976, a few years after high school, David Miscavige left Pennsylvania for Clearwater, Florida. There he joined the Sea Org, one of the institutions of Ron Hubbard (founder of the Scientology religion). The next year he began working as Hubbard’s assistant. In 1979 he became head of the Commodore’s Messenger Organization (CMO), a subgroup of the Church tasked with enforcing Hubbard’s rules and regulations in each of the Scientology organizations. In 1980, Miscavige apparently began working as a representative for Ron Hubbard, since the latter hardly appeared at public events from then on. He also implicitly became the leader of almost every group and organization in the Scientology Order.

In 1982, Miscavage formed Religious Technology Center and Author Services Inc. to manage Scientology assets and income. After Hubbard’s death in 1986, David Miscavige assumed full leadership of the Scientology religion and served as the ultimate custodian of the Church’s beliefs and practices. In 2003 he set about building and renovating Church branches in major cities around the world. So far it has done so in about 65 cities in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Taiwan, Israel, Italy, Mexico and Spain. He later founded the Scientology Network in March 2018, through which he hopes to communicate with billions of followers around the world.

So far in his more than three decades of leadership of the church, Miscavige has encountered numerous controversies, including allegations of assault, cruelty and oppression, unlawful surveillance detention and other unethical practices.

About David Miscavige’s father

David’s father is Ronald Miscavige. He was the one who first introduced him to Scientology while searching for cures for his ailments. Miscavige Sr. remained a believer in the Scientology religion from 1970 to 2012. After retiring, he co- authored Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige and I , alongside Dan Koon. The book, published in May 2016, contained an expository narrative of his 42 years of personal experience in the religion. It also chronicled his son’s rise to leadership of the church, as well as his estranged relationship with him following his escape from the cult.

wife and children

David Miscavige married Michelle Diane, a fellow Sea Org member popularly known as Shelly Miscavige. Shelly remained a devoted Scientologist and Miscavige’s assistant until she retired in 2005. Shelly last appeared in public at her father’s funeral in August 2007, fueling rumors of the disappearance. To this day, her whereabouts have been fraught with mystery and dark controversy. While some believe she defected from the religion and eloped, others believe the church held her somewhere in one of its facilities, possibly “The Hole,” a suspected place of detention and torture for offending members.

Also after actress and former Scientologist LeahRemini filed a missing persons report with the Los Angeles Police Department on behalf of Shelly. No concrete information emerged from the investigation. In addition, various Church of Scientology spokesmen have flatly denied claims of their disappearance with excuses ranging from pursuing a private life to dedicating their time to Church service.

Meanwhile, multiple sources have reported that David Miscavage does not appear to have had a romantic relationship with his wife, Shelly. The couple have no children.
