Groomsman

Groomsman
Relation: Friend from High Point Athletics Has known Patrick since: October 2016 Kevin was a traveling broadcaster, and eventual SID at HPU. I always marveled at how quickly his mind solved problems, and how willing he always was to help me with a project. He always pushed me to be better and to do more in my career. He is logical, introspective, witty, and responsible.
Bridesmaid
