Adam Merook
Best Man
Adam and I met on the soccer field as kids, being coached by Adam's dad while swapping Pokemon cards on the side. It wasn't until high school though that we started running around together (literally). Going through everything and anything there is in high school, college, and beyond, Adam has always helped me see the good in life. He's an incredible brother, probably the coolest uncle, and one of the best engineers to ever come out of the University of Tennessee.
Taylor Dix
Groomsman
One of the best roommates and friends I could ever ask for, Taylor has kept me laughing with our love of random internet videos and our exquisite tastes in movie quotes. Having always been the most caring and loving person that I know, Taylor has served as a missionary and educator for Mission to the World in Bulgaria for the past year and a half.
Kyle Beckner
Groomsman
Apart from being my cousin, Kyle was the first person I ever considered as one of my best friends. Growing up together, no matter what we were doing, Kyle always knew how to make things fun. There always seems to be a story floating around family get-togethers about us playing with fire, slingshots, and other generally dangerous things for kids to handle.
Brian Harris
Groomsman
There's never been a clear way to describe Brian, let alone our relationship. Never have I met someone who has quite gotten my sense of humor or my quirky, hair-brained ideas as much as him. Whatever situation we've found ourselves in, and there's been quite a few, he has always found the humor in it. Brian is a doctoral candidate at Louisiana State University, where he plays with dirt and finds ways of saving it from washing into the ocean. He's one of the smartest and funniest people I have ever had the privilege of calling my friend.
Desmond Pierce
Groomsman
Summarizing Desmond in just a few short lines is nearly impossible. The most positive and uplifting person you will ever meet, Desmond has the rare ability to make you feel better no matter what you're going through. Since our days of getting into trouble in middle school, I've always considered Desmond to be one of my truest friends, someone I could turn to with any problem at anytime and know that he would always know what to say. Besides being one of the best athletes to come out of Tennessee, Desmond is also the head coach of cross-country and track and field at King University.
Thomas Dube
Groomsman
A person who is effortlessly cool and calm in any situation, Thomas has shown me how to take life in stride. From concerts and hikes, to Saturday morning soccer and episodes of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, he has taught me how to strike a balance between working and living. While only having known each other for a short while, since the beginning Thomas has made me feel more like a brother than a friend.
