"Don’t throw that out - we’ll fix it." That’s Andy’s battle cry, whether it's about a car, a busted espresso machine, a sad bicycle, or some piece of furniture that most people would already have at the curb. If it doesn’t have a processor, odds are Andy can bring it back to life, and usually better than before. We met over a decade ago, drawn together by a mutual love of broken things and a good cigar. What started with long conversations about engine torque specs somehow turned into a lifelong friendship. Andy’s the kind of friend who shows up, rolls up his sleeves, and makes things better - quietly, competently, and without asking for thanks.

Katie's "sister". I have known Kaitlin for over 22 years. From meeting her at 3 years old and becoming her nanny, experiencing all of her dance milestones, lending an ear to friendships that would come and go, blasting music in the car while taking her on drives, too many trips to Chili's for their awesome chips, prom, nursing school and graduation....our relationship developed into a sisterhood and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to experience all of these moments. Truly the sister that I didn't know I needed. I couldn't imagine anyone better or more qualified to take on the role of MOH ... my person forever

Every squad needs a genius, and Duncan is ours. I’ve known him since we were blowing up computers in my basement in high school - and he’s been solving my problems ever since. He once towed my broken Mini Cooper home using a Home Depot extension cord, then taught me an entire web design course in three days because I forgot it existed. Calm under pressure, and always two steps ahead - Duncan is the tactical advantage you need in life.

Ashley arrived in my life over twelve years ago and I don't even remember how it turned into what it is today. Since the moment we met, she’s been the big sister I got to pick, a sounding board when you need it the most and endless laughs all mixed in. Even when life gets in the way we always pick up where we left off and the time in between fades away. I'm so grateful that our paths crossed and having her stand by my side.

I’ve known Jake since 2009, and he’s felt like a brother ever since. He’s been an incredible partner to my sister and a constant in our family - quick to laugh, always down to brainstorm wild ideas, and i'm sure still annoyed that we just BARELY missed striking gold on crypto. He’s a helicopter crewman in the Australian Navy, so yeah - he can absolutely operate. But more than that, he’s thoughtful, loyal, and one of the most grounded guys I know.

She is, to me, the living definition of grace, generosity, and unwavering kindness. From the start she made me feel not like Tom's girlfriend but like her sister, always seeming to know exactly what to say and when to simply listen. Even from across the world, her love and support arrive as if she were in the next room, thoughtful messages at just the right moments, steady encouragement whenever life gets too loud, and support that everything will work out. It takes a rare person to radiate that much warmth at a distance. We are beyond lucky to have her beside us. Thank you, truly, for everything.

Michael has this effortless way of making everything feel lighter. He’s consistent, present, and somehow always brings a sense of joy to whatever’s going on - whether we’re doing something fun or just standing around. He’s the guy who makes any moment feel like it matters. Thoughtful, steady, and just deeply reliable, he’s been a grounding force in my life and someone I always look forward to being around.

Bri brings the “joy” to any gathering, her laugh is the signal the fun has officially started and she is always the best hype person. Brianna is Tom’s friend from college, but from the moment we met she welcomed me with kindness and open arms. She’s now a dear friend, with a gift for making everyone feel they belong. I’m so grateful she’s by my side.

Chris has been in my life so long I’m pretty sure we just spawned into existence next to each other. He’s been my middle school locker neighbor, my co-star, my cult classic film co-pilot, and the guy who showed me how to express myself without overthinking it. He’s creative, quick-witted, and somehow always knows how to make a moment unforgettable. Whether we’re quoting absurd movies or just catching up on life, Chris brings energy, humor, and a little dramatic flair to everything he does. Curtain up - it’s always a better show when he’s around.

The lady who calls it how she sees it: direct, fair and secretly soft-hearted. The "Sturdy German Bock" (yes, like the beer). As my future sister-in-law, she could’ve just been family by default but instead, she’s a friend. Our relationship has been building since meeting her ~3 years ago. I’m grateful for the laughs, honesty, and realness she brings, and I’m lucky to have her by my side.

When Dave and I are together, weird things just happen. Strangers overshare. Objects fall over for no reason. The last time he came over, a mouse randomly appeared in our house for the first time ever. He trapped it in Tupperware, and we drove it two miles away to release it like it was part of a covert op. Beneath the muscle is a guy who always answers the phone and tells it like it is. His blunt honesty has pushed me to grow and see things differently. He’s my gaming buddy, chaos magnet, and one of the most solid people in my life.

I first met Hannah when she and my brother welcomed their first daughter into the world. Since then, we’ve built a genuine bond, and I’ve come to admire her loyalty, grounded nature, and drive. She’s a passionate business owner, a devoted mom, and an amazing person to spend time with. I’m lucky to have her not just as family, but as a friend. Thank you for making me a proud Auntie!

Will is the kind of guy who’ll cheer you on while casually dropping PhD-level insights between jokes. We spent a lot of time together in college, built a smart mirror startup that didn’t exactly change the world, and somehow came out of it smarter, closer, and better prepared to fail forward. He’s brilliant, absurdly well-read, and always one step away from placing a sports bet that he swears is a lock. But what’s always stood out is how steady and supportive he is - especially when life feels heavy and you're being harder on yourself than you should be. Will’s the rare kind of friend who makes you laugh, makes you think, and makes you better just by being around.

Our friendship developed a short time ago but has felt like a lifetime. We knew of each other for years in group settings, but only within the past year did we actually connect. Since then she’s shown this thoughtful kindness, encouragement, and support. It’s rare to feel that much ease without a decade of history behind it. I love that our friendship is still in the making and already feels so anchored. I’m grateful she’s here and standing with us on our day.
