David Miscavige is the chairman of the board for Religious Technology Center, an organization that was founded by the Church of Scientology to control all of the copyrighted material authored by church founder L. Ron Hubbard. Although Religious Technology Center claims to be entirely distinct from the Church of Scientology, Miscavige—who, as a teenager, was one of Hubbard's assistants—is widely reported to have become the leader of the Church and all of the affiliated Scientology enterprises.

Born into a Roman Catholic family from Philadelphia, he was accidentally introduced to Dianetics, and with the help of Dianetic auditing, many of his childhood ills, including allergies, were reportedly gone.

His family then moved to Saint Hill Manor in the 1960s where he was trained and was one of the youngest to audit people full time.

Realizing that this was his calling, he left high school and joined the full-time branch of the Church of Scientology, the Sea Org, where he rose through the ranks and eventually became one of the personal students of L. Ron Hubbard. He worked in producing some of the training films for the higher levels of service in the church and in photography.

When Hubbard died in 1986, Miscavige became the chairman of the board RTC, holder of the Dianetics and Scientology trademarks, the highest ecclesiastical office in the Church.

As Chairman of the Board RTC, Mr. Miscavige is often a speaker at major Scientology celebration events, Church grand openings and the like.
