NATHAN'S TEAM
Brett Portlance - Best Man
Q: INTRODUCE YOURSELF!
A: "I am Nathan's friend, Brett. I've been good friends with Nathan for almost 20 years and through him have known Ashley for 8 or so years. When Nathan and I aren't raising Ashley's blood pressure, I spend too much time watching KC sports and love to fish."
Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY WITH NATHAN AND/OR ASHLEY?
A: "We have a lot of good memories, but one of my favorites was the time Nathan and I were on a float trip, did the 8 miles we planned to do in a fraction of the time, so we then crashed Ashley's family's lake weekend and had a good time on Pomme de Terre lake as a group. Most importantly, they saved Nathan and I from another night sweating in a tent during a heatwave."
