Meet the Groomsmen
Greg Baum
Co-Bestman
Greg and Anthony have been long time friends, having first met at the age of 8 playing travel soccer. They later attended high school and college together. Greg and Anthony were roommates during college in an apartment in Carrol Gardens as well as after college in Downtown, Brooklyn and finally in Astoria, Queens. Throughout their friendship Greg and Anthony went on quite a few trips. They went to Philadelphia and ate a combined six cheese steaks in one day trying to find the best spot in town, they took a horse and buggy ride through Nashville, and even a 9 hour ride to Vermont for a friends wedding. These two have cover a lot of ground together. Greg is also a FDNY firefighter in Manhattan. If you need to find him, he will be the one at the bar organizing the tequila shots!
Nick Baum
Co-Bestman
Anthony also met Nick at age 8 playing soccer and eventually went to high school and college with him. They also shared an apartment in Brooklyn and then later in Astoria. Nick and Anthony have now both moved to Rockland county, living just about 15 minutes from each other. They frequently go on hikes with Nick’s golden retriever Ollie and give it their best shot at playing golf at the local courses. Nick is also a FDNY firefighter and is lucky enough to work with Anthony in Ladder 7 in Kips Bay. When Nick and Anthony were young Nick saved Anthony’s eyesight by digging a thorn out of his left eye during an intense game of manhunt. Anthony continues to thank him to this day.
Christopher Siebel
Groomsman
Chris, aka Siebs, has been one of Anthony’s closest friends since they met in college during a psychology class. Chris and Anthony worked on the Staten Island Yankees grounds crew together for a few years and eventually became roommates in Astoria, Queens. Siebs is an NYPD police officer and yes he does have the best hair in the police department. Before Siebs and Anthony met in college they unknowingly played against each other in high school soccer. Anthony being the stellar defender that he was prevented many goals, and during his senior season managed to score only one goal...that goal was scored on the one and only Chris Siebel.
Burim Kadrijaj
Groomsman
Burim aka Kadj, has been friends with Anthony since they were 21 years old. They eventually became roommates, first in Downtown, Brooklyn and then again in Astoria, Queens. Being that Anthony and Kadj have the same appreciation for comedy these two have shared many laughs. So many laughs that sometimes they forgot why they started laughing in the first place. Kadj is an NYPD police officer...but don’t let that fool you, he’ll be out there cutting some rug on the dance floor!
