Jessie is my sister.. and probably my best friend ever. She has been by my side to support and protect me since day 1. We have exactly the same humor and mannerisms so when we are together we are always laughing and joking around. I have always looked up to Jess. I Can’t wait to have her by my side during the wedding. Jessie is a Pharmacist in Rochester. She recently got married as well.

Glynnis and I became friends13 years ago when we were in 7th grade at Benilde- St. Margaret’s. We have hit most of our milestones together. Glynnis was the person who introduced Robb and I to each other. We are very thankful. Glynnis enjoys photography and has a degree in digital photography.

Krista and I have been friends for 11 years. We met Freshman year of high school and spent the rest of high school inseparable. Krista has always cheered me on in life. Krista has been by my side in many of my life adventures. She is the most caring person I know. Krista is going to school for child care currently.

Rory and I have been friends for longer than we can remember- literally- Our parents worked together at one time and we played together when we were tots. Rory and my friendship really blossomed when we met 13 years ago at Benilde- St. Margaret’s. Rory is currently going to school for drug counseling.

Michelle is my cousin. She and I had the opportunity of spending a year living under the same roof. We have enjoyed many nights sitting on the couch talking and knitting, We took a cousins girls trip together to Grand Marais, which was an absolute blast. Whenever she’s around it’s always fun.Michelle is currently a Surgeon.

John and I met on reddit and have been best friends since about 2013. In that time, we've recorded albums, played more gigs than I can count, and been in and out of every brewery and dive in the Twin Cities. An extremely talented musician, greenthumb, bird-watcher, and solo traveler, he's the one person I am in near-constant communication with on a daily basis. We share everything together, we do everything together, and we are always there for each other. John and I have been through a lot together and I know we always will.

I met Mike through Barb. Mike is hands-down the most talented and hardest working musician I know. He's also my brother. Mike is an absolute force of genius, an expert author, studious brewmaster, literal enthusiast, and absolutely cutting with his witty and dry brand of Lauer humor. I hope you enjoy an awkward conversation with him at some point in the evening.

I also met Tyler though Barb. War hero, hunter, dog-whisperer, husband, father, pilot, and musician. Tyler does it all. I've looked up to him since he was old enough to ride my bike. Everything he sets his mind to is a done-deal, guaranteed. He and his wonderful wife Jessi gave us the most beautiful niece we could ever ask for.

Nate and I have known each other since spring of 2016, collaborating with fellow musicians in Minneapolis. Being fellow transplants, Nate and I naturally gravitated to each other. He and I (along with my beautiful fiance) jumped into the fray of Minnesota United FC and True North Elite together; stepping foot on our hallowed ground together from day one. He helped me build my dream, the mighty "THUNDERWALL" and without him, my evil schemes would have lived in Google Docs for eternity. Countless evenings we've stayed up arguing about soccer formations, hockey tactics, about whether Sakic or Yzerman was the better player, and about everything in between. He's always the devil on my shoulder and I love him to death.

My story with Kevin starts over a decade ago when we served together in the 451st Army Band. Touring the nation, playing shows in every city and town all over the US as well as in Minnesota, Kevin and I became fast friends. He and I also took similar career paths, choosing engineering as our vocations. Kevin is one of the smartest, driven, and absolutely goofy humans I have ever met. He and his darling wife Sandra are incredible friends and wonderful people.
