Miller, Thatcher Ford: - Thatcher Ford Miller is 14 and the oldest of the three Miller sons at the time of this writing. He is a freshman at Judge Memorial Catholic High School in Salt Lake City, Utah, after spending the majority of his school career at Rowland Hall, where he excelled in debate, English, writing, and speech. He is an avid reader and tennis player (currently playing in an intensive tennis program at the Salt Lake Swim and Tennis Center). During his transfer from Rowland Hall to Judge Memorial, he tested into multiple Honors and Advanced Placement classes but only accepted a few of them, as one of his favorite pastimes is "doing nothing" and his least favorite being overly committed. Thatcher was born in Park City, Utah, and has traveled the world extensively visiting nine countries, with his favorite destination being Sorrento, Italy. Although he's not focusing yet on a particular college or major, he's quite certain, like his father (and coauthor), that he's not pursuing a career as a chemist, an engineer, an architect, or anything that requires algebra-which is generally a four-letter word in Millerland. Parenting: Wrong Turns, Right Lessons is Thatcher's debut as a published author. Look for potential future works under his name.
