Abi is my big sister. She has always been there for me, watching out for me, especially in every moment I didn't want her to be there. We have handled lots of change together and can finally say we actually enjoy spending time together, contrary to our childhood. I am so grateful to have Abi standing by my side.

Even as my twin, we were never the same. But we were never apart. Up until my time in Africa, we were never separated for longer than a day or 2. Always creating laughs, Levi was truly the better half, no matter what I've said in the past. If you see him on May 16 without candy in his hand, ask him what is wrong and then get him more SourPatch Watermelon. Levi is my best friend, my brother, my twin, my Best Man. The epitome of a Best Man.

Aubrie and I met at Houghton on the XC team. Although she was a year older than me, we instantly connected. We spent countless hours chatting and breaking all the Covid rules together. Aubrie is a very kind person who genuinely cares about you.

From day 1, Bjorn has been a role model of what a man should be. From leadership to his moves on the dance floor, he has taught me how to act, lead, disciple, and boogie. A great man with great moves! Make sure you meet him on May 16 and check out what he's got on the dance floor!

Amanda is the first person I met at Houghton. Coach had connected us before I even set foot on the campus. Amanda showed me all the places to adventure around Houghton. Being a local, she knew all the cool spots, and being two years older had all the cool friends. I was blessed to stand by her at her wedding, and I can't wait for her to do the same for me.

A true brother from another mother. Micah has been my number 1 competitor in sports. From 1 on 1 in any sport with Levi pulling the real weight as all time QB or goalie. Micah has pushed me on and off the field or court to become a better man and athlete than I ever imagined.

Mic and I first connected in an accounting class, my first semester. I also thought she was a Freshman, but turns out she was a Junior. This was the start of our friendship. I don't even know how it grew, but all of a sudden, we were hanging out every day, and I even convinced her to join the track team. Mic and I became training partners in the 800. She is one of the main reasons Tobias and I met.

My true goon. I always have "looked up" to Luke. As my giant friend Luke always is down for a good time, and to teach me with all his wisdom and knowledge. With conversations I never thought I would have and learning from a man I should have listened to more as a kid. Luke is a stud, and there is so much he has to offer.

Rachael is another one of my teammates. We got really close last year and get to wedding plan together as she is also engaged! Rachael is very funny and loves to laugh. She is up for any adventure. She is also slightly insane as she enjoys racing a 10k around a track.

Andy is Andy. From wild McDons runs at midnight after a good win on the pitch to wacky spontaneous group activities throughout our college years, Andy was at the heart of the Adventures. He brought out my spontaneous side more than enough, and he pushed me as a person as he did as an athlete. I would give anything for another week of college with Andy!

Bekah and I have been friends since we were born. We grew up in the same church and have stayed friends throughout the many changes in both of our lives. Somehow, we both ended up attending Houghton and making the same friends. I am so grateful for your friendship.

A man I grew to love after only knowing him for a day as my soccer teammate, who had no touch on the ball, has grown to more than a friend, a brother. Caleb keeps me on my toes when I need it and always has an ear for my humor, whether he wants to hear it or not. Caleb is a kind of friend I never thought I would have, and a friend I'll never be able to live without.
