Brendon and I met in Mrs. Mixdorf’s kindergarten class, and we have been friends ever since.

Even after going our separate ways after high school, the two of us and Colin have always remained close and kept in touch by playing video games and watching sports.

Trevor and I met as randomly assigned roommates while we were both studying abroad in Rome during the spring of 2019. We quickly bonded over being Chelsea fans and became friends as we spent the semester exploring Rome and traveling throughout Europe. We were roommates our senior year of college back at Iowa State, and have remained close ever since, as I make frequent trips to Chicago to visit.

Marcus PadillaMarcus Padilla

Marcus and I met in junior high and bonded over cross country and music. We both ran cross country throughout junior high and high school, with Marcus being much faster than me. After our years at North Scott, we have remained close and have had the opportunity to attend two musical festivals together.

Matt and I met the summer before our junior year of college at Iowa State, and we were roommates our senior year, along with Trevor.
