Ian met Ryon (aka Pax) in the CU dorms, where their friendship was forged over hammocks and questionable life choices.

Together they have survived CU football games, Country Jam adventures, MIPs, and more drunken nights than either of them cares to admit. Through it all, Pax has always been there—quiet, loyal, and just sometimes the voice of reason.
