Hey my name is TJ. Some people call me coach, some call me a teacher, but to Zach all I am is big brother. As his older brother I’ve seen him grow from a small pain in the butt to a big pain in the butt, and through all that time he’s been one of if not the best friends I could’ve ever asked for. I’m proud of the man he’s become, and i know he’s found an equally amazing partner to walk with him through life.

Hi! My name is Nathan Sandoval. I am a recent graduate of Texas Tech University, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with a minor in mathematics. I am currently working as an automation and controls engineer in San Antonio, Texas. I met Zach freshman year of college, and later went on to be his roommate for the remaining 3 years. We have a shared interest in video games, music, and arguing about which of our hometowns has better Mexican food (it’s not a competition). It is an honor to be a part of this wedding, and I am excited for him to begin this new chapter of his life!

Hi my name is Nick! One day I will be an Astronaut. I am currently a student at Collin College but plan on transferring to Texas A&M (WHOOOO GO AGGIES) in the Fall of 2026 to continue in AeroSpace Engineering. I am very excited to be a part of Zach’s Wedding as growing up I have always been his little brother. Even knowing there is almost 5 years in between me and him I am still able to look at him as my best friend. From the blanket forts to the imaginary friends (bobby) I couldn’t be more Happy and Excited for this next chapter of his life. I am proud of you Zach!

Hi! I’m Zach, I’m a student at UTD, I love playing games, hanging out with friends, and listening to music. Typical college student things I guess… I’m very excited to be a part of this wedding and I can’t wait to meet everyone!

Hi, I’m Tanya! I recently graduated from the University of North Texas with a bachelors degree in Biomedical Engineering and minors in both Math and Marketing. I’m currently obtaining a masters degree also in Biomedical Engineering and am expected to graduate in May 2024. I work as a Research Assistant and a Teaching Assistant for the Biomedical Engineering Department. I met Elizabeth freshmen year of college in chemistry class, right before a quiz. She approached me from across the waiting area, introduced herself, and said “are you ready for this quiz?” I immediately responded back with “not at all, you?” And she responded back with “nope”. Ever since then, we sat next to each other every class, attempting not to fall asleep as it was an 8 am course 😂 We learned our lesson after that to never take another 8 am course ever again! Fast forward to 5 years and she has become my best friend, roommate, and sister. I don’t know what I would do without her!
