David Miscavige

David Miscavige is one of those figures I approach carefully. As the second leader of the Church of Scientology and chairman of the board of its Religious Technology Center, he sits atop the trademarks and copyrights that keep the whole structure running. Born in Philadelphia, he rose young to the inner circle and ended up controlling nearly everything. The label religious leader and businessperson side by side tells you a lot about how the organization works. I won't dismiss anyone's faith, but few public figures generate this much polarized testimony and so little verifiable detail. With him, I'd rather observe from a respectful distance.

David Miscavige (; born April 30, 1960) is an American Scientologist who is serving as the second leader of the Church of Scientology. His official title within the organization is chairman of the board of the Religious Technology Center (COB RTC).
