I met Mike in 2018 and he has been one of my biggest supporters. He is the reason I was able to smile during hard times. He always makes sure that I am doing what is best for myself and never take myself for granted. We have had our moments of tension as we fiercely defend each others well being, but we always come from a place of good intention. Thank you for being there for me.

Thank you for being by my side on such a special day. All of our whiskey adventures are my absolute favorite time! You are there at the drop of the hat for me and I can't appreciate your support enough. We have a lot of great plans ahead and I can't wait to go through more tours, try new whiskeys, cigars, and explore Germany! You're a great person to be around.

Scarlett is a dear friend I met in Virginia. She is sweet, endearing, and has always been like family. She has never let distance effect our friendship and we always pick up right where we left off. She is such a loving soul that has supported me through some rough times. She will be there at a pin drop and tear down any wall in your path. Thank you for being who you are.

Morgan's younger brother - To my brother, thank you for always being a friend and a random laugh! You and I have gone on many adventures as well as gaming nights. Thank you for being an unwavering support and amazing person. You'll forever be my friend.

Ian's Sister - Thank you for being a voice of reason for me, but never trying to control my destination. I know when I speak to you, you speak from the heart and want what is best for me. You have always been a stable rock in my foundation and I am beyond grateful that you are my sister.

Ian's Brother in Law - To my brother from another mother. You are family to me and I am beyond grateful you are the one who married my sister. We can drink whiskey, smoke cigars, and have a good time without missing a beat. Thanks for being my brother.

Morgan's Cousin in Law - Thank you for spending our special day with us! I'm glad you are apart of the family and enjoy seeing you build a family with Nathan. Thank you for caring for him and accepting my crazy self as I know I can be a bit much to handle. Never stop pushing forward.

Morgan's Cousin - Thank you for always being in my corner even when you don't want to be. haha I'm so glad that we were able to reconnect and spend more time together. I'm so happy to see you building the family you have always dreamed of. Thank you for helping and supporting me!

Thank you for getting me through those long work days! I'm so glad to see the person you are growing into and am so happy that you are here to help our next step grow also. You are an amazing person and great friend. I know I can rely on you anytime I need you even when we both are "dead to the world" and cuddled up in blankets watching movie marathons. Remember - YOU'RE GONNA GET HIT BY A CAR YOU DUMBA**" while crying watching a movie.

We have been through the highs and lows, but we always have worked through it. Between all the facetime calls of stories of good and bad, thank you for always being there. I'm thankful that you supported me when I was moving out of Virginia. That was a hard time, but you know what - someone got a PS4 out of it. *cough* *cough* ....maintenance crew....

Morgan's Friend - I met Janell at my old work location and she immediately would open up conversation. I'm honestly surprised she even tolerated me when half the time I was only listening, with barely any response. But, she's an understanding person who didn't take offense when I explained that I observe and listen more at first before opening up. She's always been supportive and caring. Showing up in my corner whenever she can. Friends are family too. Thank you for sharing our day.

Morgan's Older Brother - To my brother, thank you for always telling me what you feel. Thank you for being open no matter the circumstances. We may butt heads, but you will always be my brother. I enjoy all our random conversations, exploring days, gaming, and sports ventures. You'll forever be apart of my life.
