I would not be the man I am today without the endless love, sacrifices, and kindness received from my dad. He has always pushed me to work hard and be the best version of myself that I can be. I'm blessed and thankful to have him by my side on this special day.

Little Whitnor, also known more commonly as "Skeeter". Since the day you were born, I have had the privilege of being your big brother, coach, mentor, and best friend. You have always looked up to me, and little did you know, I have always looked up to you. I could not imagine a life without my little buddy at my side.

Robert and I first met in 6th grade at Weddington Middle School. Robert and I have been best friends since that time and have experienced the majority of our lives together. No matter what, Robert is one of the most consistent and dependable people I know. Thank you for being you, Rob.

Gavin and I met early in our careers and have been best friends since the day we met. Gavin's love for the outdoors, our shared careers, and perspectives on life have resulted in a lifelong, relatable bond. Gavin is a man of character and has been a brother to me.

Scott and I met close to five years ago. Scott is the older brother I never had, and we have not skipped a beat growing in our friendship and deep love for the outdoors. Scott is a role model for me and is a man of the utmost character. It's a privilege to have him stand alongside me on this special day.

Sam has been a best friend to me since we first met junior year of high school when I first transferred to Providence Day School. Sam and his family took me in as one of their own and have always been a friend that I could depend on. Sam is a man of integrity and someone I have always looked up to.

Mac and I met sophomore year of High School. He was my host at Providence Day when I first toured the school. Mac and I had the privilege of continuing our football careers together at Towson University. Mac and I hit it off from day one and have experienced major life events together. Could not picture this day without him by my side.

Sean and I played football together at Towson University. I was fortunate to live with Sean for our Freshman and sophomore years of college. Sean and his family took me under their wing and gave me a home away from home. Our friendship is a lifelong bond, and though we live many states apart, Sean will always be someone I consider a brother.
