Jamie is my older sister and someone that has always been there for me, no matter what. She's influenced my life in many ways, including sparking my interest in traveling and exploring different parts of the world. I'm lucky to have her as my sister every day and as my Matron of Honor for our wedding.

Eric is my older brother, a role model, and a best friend. We both decided to go into the medical field, him in anesthesia and me in surgery. It was awesome when we were able to do cases together. And even though he convinced me to move to Visalia and then moved his family back down to San Diego leaving me there all alone, I still couldn’t imagine my wedding day without him up there by my side.

Melissa is my oldest friend, dating back to junior high and our softball days. We've supported each other through all stages of life. Looking forward to having her by my side on the next special day as my bridesmaid.

Daves is my younger brother, an inspiration, and a best friend. From snowboarding adventures to Las Vegas music festivals, he’s the best travel companion. He is hands down the smartest person I know, and the guy I talk to whenever I need support, good advice or someone to tell it to me straight. I love him dearly and I’m so happy he will be there to celebrate this amazing day with Jenn and me.

Jill and I met while working at On The Border in college. We hit it off instantly. We were so similar that there were many times Jill and I would show up for an event wearing the same outfit. We were inseparable until she moved away to Texas and I couldn't imagine not having her as a bridesmaid.

Grady and I met in 5th grade when OPE opened. We became fast friends due to our common interests in video games, music, and the need to get into a little trouble now and again. I remember he convinced me to go to UCSB with him for college by creating this awesome poster outlining how great UCSB was going to be and how boring USC and UCLA would have been. I’m grateful to have him as such an amazing friend and groomsman.

Jen and I also met while working at On The Border. We were both bartending at the time which made it easy for people to remember our names (except she has one 'N'). Jen is one of my closest confidants and quickly became like family to me and I am so happy to have her as part of our special day.

Duncan is one of my oldest friends. We’ve seen each other through all the awkward stages of adolescence and have only grown closer because of it. We spent countless nights in the Rimmer Manor attic honing our skills to become the best Smash Brothers players of all our friends. We are both USC grads (Business and Medical School) and avid Trojan Football fans. Stoked to have him as a true friend and groomsman. FIGHT ON!!!

Kat and I met while working at a staffing agency. We bonded over our love for wine nights and hiking. Soon enough Kat was joining family Thanksgiving's and holidays. Kat has a very kind heart and I am lucky to have her as a friend and bridesmaid.

Steve and I first met through sports. He has always been an all-star athlete while I got dumped in right field. Our friendship blossomed through junior high and high school where we played on the same soccer team for many years. We also rocked battle of the bands where Steve was a front man of FERGLGAG (Five Extremely Ridiculously Good Looking Guys And Grady). We also went to UCSB together and had entirely too many great memories to count. He can always make me laugh and I’m honored to have him as my groomsman.

Ash and I also met at the same staffing agency. Ash and Kat were a package deal so the 3 of us formed a quick bond and started our tradition of trading off our girls nights between wine night and an activity day. Ash is also an honorary member of our family so it's fitting for her to be a bridesmaid for our special day.

Kyle and I became fast friends after meeting in junior high. We were in all the smart kid classes together, and while I was a total nerd, he was somehow able to pull off the cool guy vibe. During a high school friend vacation to Palm Springs, Kyle and I claimed #doubledigitsamedigitplusone status. Kyle now lives in Arizona and we have many great memories floating down the Salt River. I’m so lucky to have him as a friend and groomsman.

Stacey and I met through a previous job and have known each other for the last 7 years. Stacey is a great friend, workout partner, and sounding board. She came into my life after many other close friends had moved away from San Diego and I'm so lucky she did. We've shared so many fun memories in a short period of time and I am looking forward to many more, including having her as part of our wedding party.

I met Matt my first day of surgical residency. There are a select few people that, as soon as you meet them, you know that they will be a friend for life. Matt is one of those. He is kind, sincere and has always been there for me from training to present. That meant a heck of a lot for a resident working 100+…I mean 80 hours a week. These days, although we’re working in different specialties and different hospitals, we always make the time for one another to discuss cool cases and support each other. I’m thrilled to have become such great friends with Matt and am excited to have him as a groomsman.
