Mom & Dad: Designer Nicole Miller and banker Kim Taipale

9 To 5: Future freshman at Trinity College

Renaissance Man: “I’ve always been interested in physics and art. I’ve done mostly photography, ceramics, and sculpture for my art, but I like other forms as well.”

Local Haunts: “I like to surf up in Montauk at Ditch Plains and get out on the boat and go waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wake surfing.”

Summer Escape: “Every year I go on a three-week trip on one of those teen tour programs. This year, I’m going to Australia. Two years ago I got my Wilderness First Responder certification. It’s a medical-training certification geared for when you’re not near a hospital, like when you’re camping or hiking.”

Summer Steez: “Out here I wear brands like Sperry, Obey, and Quiksilver. In the city, I wear a lot of stuff from W.R.K. I like to wear Levi’s jeans and a few other brands like Diesel. If I’m doing outdoors stuff, I wear this one brand called Triple Aught Design.”

On The Road: “I just got my license a few weeks ago. I used to drive my parents around with my permit, but now I can drive on my own. Traffic isn’t so bad if you know what you’re doing. You just need to leave at exactly the right time.”
