We go back to elementary school when her family moved to town. Over the years she has become someone I look up to and the sister I never had. Kory is the most caring person with an attention to detail that makes everyone around her feel cared for.

Alexis is a strong and smart woman that I will soon get to call sister-in-law. I was a little nervous when we finally met after a couple years of me dating Brandon, however, that quickly melted away and we hit it off…with drinks…there’s video evidence of us dancing upon request.

Candice and I became quick friends in middle school. Two weird ass girls giggling non-stop was who we were. We went through countless plays, choir concerts, and sleepovers together as we grew up. She’s always been wildly smart and goofy as hell, and I’m truly excited to have her by me for the big day!

One word to describe Katie is passionate. She will fight for what’s right no matter what. As a friend, she will fight for you too. Truly a remarkable woman and educator who loves all things animals, well, dogs and Taylor Swift haha.

Oh Megan. My college roommate and rounded out the trio with me and Katie during college. From day one I knew we would be best friends. This momma and I have gotten into more shenanigans than I should remember. Halloween 2012 will go down in history.

I met Marshall on my tour in Hawaii. From the first Duty section turnover he has been a best friend and mentor through some of my most difficult times. Always there with sound advice when I need it and even when I don't necessarily want to hear it.

As the baby brother Edward definitely holds his own. One of the hardest working people I know he has always kept me on my toes and pushed me to be the man that I am today.

Kyle was my very first roommate at NAPS and although I do not particularly like his fascination with singing Marine Corps chants, some of my fondest memories were spending Thanksgiving with him in New York and driving cross country together.

This picture describes us the best because there is never a dull moment. From spending 4 years as roommates at the Academy and nearly dying in Kauai, Jordan has been one of my closest friends.

It always a great time when my brothers and I get together. Coy will have you laughing for days. I still remember our brothers trip we took to New Orleans and how he got everyone in the club dancing.

One of the first examples of talent I saw was my brother Jermaine dominate on a basketball court, and although I was horrible at basketball I always wanted to be like my older brother. As the oldest from the 2nd set, he has always been one of my biggest supporters.
