Michael Klucher - Best Man
After meeting Michael at work, it didn't take long before our relationship was pushing the boundaries of what the HR department would come to call "serious potential conflict". Since then, we have built a home at the local Star Wars bar, cried over Grey's together, and lived like kings in Vegas (where I also had the privilege of being a part of his wedding). Even though Michael has moved north to Seattle, the distance hasn't changed the level of interior design help I give him, nor the effort he puts in to keeping my ego in check.
AJ Amstrup
With aspirations of pushing the world forward as part of the next generation of engineers, AJ and I met at University of the Pacific while learning about free-body diagrams and integrated circuits. Sharing a wall between our dorm rooms, we spent more time together out of classes than we did in them, playing video games into the wee hours. This progressed into adulthood when we lived together in San Jose. Now, I love knowing that his children will be put through college thanks to the premiums he collects from my proclivity for fine automobiles.
Geoff Cleary
Geoff and I started out in the same dorm in college, but it wasn't until we worked together at the student computer help desk in the library that we really became close. Being the first, last, and only line of defense in the world of computer malware and misplaced trust in adult websites will harden a man, and luckily we had each other to commiserate with while battling others' poor choices. I never tire of the periodic visits I get from men in black to verify that Geoff is in fact qualified for his security clearance, and I likewise know he eventually appreciates all the things that I can't talk about at my job.
Andy Fischer
At least once in every person's life, they should experience what it feels like to get a hug from Andy. There is no game, be it board or video, that I can't enjoy playing with Andy, and he has applied his uncanny skills as a high school educator to successfully leading our World of Warcraft guild through the most challenging encounters Blizzard has dreamt up. Should you have the good fortune of running into Andy after he has had several Fruit Ninjas, he absolutely will teach you all of his favorite Brazilian Jiu Jitzu holds.
Geoff Moore
There is one thing that I know for certain beyond all else, and it's that no one loves my mom's cinnamon streusel cake more than I do. Except maybe for Geoff. We began working together in college and ended up having offices just a couple floors apart at Apple, all the while knowing that great minds think alike. From our taste in movies and music, to the cars we've loved, to our unending hunger for Chipotle, Geoff and I know who we can always count on to be on the exact same page.
Brian Poseley
My oldest friend in the lineup, Brian and I have known each other for over a quarter of a century. Living just a mile apart in our younger years, we grew up sharing absolutely everything. Between activities like singing in choirs, running things in student government, and me tagging along with his scout troop, if one of us was on a page of the yearbook, so was the other. We now live a little further apart, but the extra miles just give us a longer drag strip when racing toward one another.
