Event Details

Registry

Taylor is your biggest hype women! You get a couple shots in her and you’re done for because she knows how to have funnn. She loves Jesus, has a chunky sweet golden named Oakley, and she lives for the ocean and surfing! She is in sales and works so hard  but we believe she is meant to be a stay at home mom who surfs in the sun all day. 

Taylor Alexander

Ethan is Grant's brother and works with him running a team at the Magic Brands! He loves the Bengals, and video games! He is patient, dogs love him and he is always up for an adventure! From heading to Buffalo for a Bengals game to Vegas adventures for his 21st, he's not going to say no to a fun time!

Ethan Lynch

Taylor is witty, hilarious and will keep you on your toes! Not to brag but we have been doing jiu-jitsu lately and she\u2019s kind of a bad ass. She runs email and app marketing for a luxury resale brand and has a perfect bean named Shia! She is always down to try new things and has lately been testing out the driving range and is thinking about tennis! She loves self-help books and is always watching interesting documentaries. Girls got brains!

Taylor Newman

Ryan is Grant's brother and your master chef and golf aficionado! He has 3 rambunctious kids and yet he has more energy than Grant and I combined! If you're looking for someone to talk sports, have a drink or just someone who can stay up late having fun and still be a functioning human, look no farther!

Ryan Davis

Lauren is brilliant and who I call when I need help with math or my resume. She's a bridge engineer and she has a cutie doggo named Cali who is fast approaching the Guinness World Record of "Dog Who Knows the Most Tricks". She loves to travel and is aaalwaysss down for an adventure. She is loyal, hard working, and can truly hang longer than anyone. I've said too many nice things so I'll tell you her red flag is that she sips shots. 

Lauren Weber

Mog is your fun adventure guy! He is in sales, has biked across the country, and is the kind of guy who sets up biweekly google meets to keep caught up with friends. He is a friendly and accepting guy who is always down for fun activities outside with friends. Whether its volleyball, pickleball, or a game night!

David Mog

Josie is a Floridian turned Iowan who's patience is top notch because she teaches elementary school! She loves her people and spending time with family. She is also a great writer and avid reader! She is loyal and has consistently and frequently called me for catch up sessions since I left Iowa 9 years ago. She has an adorable little boy named Myles who is just as blond as she is.

Josie McDonald

Amar is the most fit baker you will ever meet! He will be up at 6am running or doing hot yoga and then end the day whipping up the best cookies or strudels or any baked goods you can think of! Grant said to tell you that his passion for trucking has brought the industry to where it is today. He also loses his money to college football on Saturdays.

Amar Nadkarni

Liz has it in her to run marathons and golf an entire 18 holes which is wild to me. (I need a burger after hole six). She is in speech therapy and is building her own business! She has two cutie dogs Kona and Finn and loves an ice cream, cookie movie night in. She is so hard working, motivated, active and boujee and her preferred vacation vibe is beach paradise. 

Liz Zyzo

Austin and Grant met in San Diego working for a marketing company and pretty quickly branched off and started their own business! Going from keto doughnuts to pre workout and protein powder to The Magic Brand- it's so cool to see how far they've come!  Austin builds websites as well and has two angel dogs and an affinity for golf!

Austin Witte

Caitlin is a communicative (she's a phone call person), accepting and positive person! She is in sales and works too hard if I do say so myself. What can she say, she's motivated! She recently got back from Ireland, which is her first overseas trip! She's been bitten by the travel bug. She loves going above and beyond for her people. She is literally my only friend without a dog haha she slipped past the normal apparent requirements!

Caitlin Dwyer

Grant and Welage met in college and it's so funny to hear how they've changed! And  at the same time how they haven't changed because you will still find Ryan tearing up the dance floor and drinking you under the table! He has a cute baby boy named Graham who, due to genetics, will end up loving the Bengals and being sad every weekend of football season, just like his dad. 

Ryan Welage

Jungle Juice Jess as we call her is someone I'm hoping you're all gonna meet after a few cocktails! She is hilarious, so sweet, kind, and brilliant! She's a vet and the schooling for that is obviously no joke. She has and has had dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs and I'm sure that list will get longer. 

Jessica Kelly

Need a trivia host, master of games or officiant? Look no farther than Jake! He's got the jokes and he's gonna bring the vibes. He is part of the marketing department at google and has so far not given in to the peer pressure to move to Charlotte. He snowboards, works hard, and is just a fun and loyal human! 

Jake Hirsch

Carly is so creative and has such a big heart! She is a writer and runs Fur Fam Farm where she has rescued her fair share of animals and has a ton of her own! She is an accepting and adventurous human who loves a good EDM concert and can hang with the best of em. She also loves soccer! Big female sports advocate right here. 

Carly Kulzer

Tony is a loyal and fun guy who loves football Sundays and bopping around to different restaurants and bars to taste all the local brews! He loves game nights and and finding unique and fancy things. He is creative, crafty and has a sweetie golden named Millie! He & Taylor are part of the reason we visited Charlotte and realized we wanted to move here!

Tony Tenuta

Ken is a take no shit, loyal bad B who loves Matt Mason, Miller Lite and giraffes! 

She is in insurance, she has a cutie pup named Millie and she also loves to read. You’ll either find her out having a drink with friends and cheering on the Iowa football team or curled up with Millie reading one of those dragon books!

Kennedy Erickson

This is a hard call because all the guys here are obsessed with football but Austin may love it the most - particularly Ohio State football. Austin is so smart, has a great memory, and lives in Pasadena. He and Grant often spend their Saturdays losing their bets on college football. 

Austin Gewecke

Max is the nicest guy you'll meet. If you're his person you are so lucky to have him because he will always have your back! Max is Grant's brother in law and lives in Ohio with Claire, their two precious baby boys, and sweet dog Remy. He is very handy around the house and loves to play video games! When I fall asleep to the sounds of Grant yelling in the other room, I know that either the Bengals are losing again, or he is playing video games with Max.  

Max Ward

Kurt has known us both for the longest time. He is our free spirited, hard working friend who works in film and tv! He is always down for an adventure and is one of the most accepting people. He travels quite a bit for work and loves to travel on his own as well. He also goes snowboarding with us every year!He has the cutest dog named Katara and I am obsessed with her. She is one of my screen savers. He is also a die hard Bengals fan like G rant!

Kurt Yochum

Mike and Grant lived together for about 8 years. They met at their old company when they both moved to San Diego after college. He is a Solutions Engineer at Click Up but his real passion is having a good time. He is very laid back, and loves to have a drink in his hand while having fun with friends so keep an eye on the dance floor. You might find him out there tearing it up. He has a cutie kitty named Luna and recently got scuba diving certified!
