Alex, known to everyone as Wallace, has been one of my closest friends since our days at Lux Middle School. We room-mated in college freshman.

There are few I have more to thank than Bryan for where I am today. Struggling through college, he reached out and got me to join Triangle Fraternity, giving me the structure and motivation to get through my classes.
