Jarrod Hochman, a Brooklyn guy and Jim, a Queens boy, attended SUNY Albany together. They spent many a night playing Tecmo Bowl while in college - and to this day meet at Fenway or Yankee Stadium to enjoy a game supporting their respective teams.
Groomsman
Jacob Franchi is Jaime's son, and Jim's soon-to-be stepson. He's a bright young man with an amazing future ahead of him who we are honored to have stand with us as we take our vows. Jacob will walk his mom down the aisle and giver her away.
Groomsman
Paul Rodriguez and Jim were college roommates sophomore year - in the quiet hall (it's true - and Jim didn't get them kicked out). They spent many a day in college at the basketball court with the Fellas (our non-fraternal fraternity), and nights playing Tecmo Bowl where Paul was usually (but not always) the victor!
Groomsman
Vinny "I Got A Guy" LeVien met Jim while Jim was working on Tom DiNapoli's 2001 Nassau County Executive Race. Jim spoke to Vinny for a few minutes and said, "I gotta get back to the phones and find some vans to transport our volunteers." Vinny said, "You need vans? I Got a Guy!" He did, too, and they've been friends ever since.
Groomsman
Sherman Jewett and Jim met working in the NYS Assembly, where they share a love for government and politics. There are lots of stories, but the best will come from their first campaign - Luibrand for Assembly - in 1994. They lost, but developed a great bond that has lead to many trips to Turks and Caicos, South Beach, Utah and more...
Groomsman
RIch Shultis and Jim met while "barking" (handing out comedy show flyers) in Times Square back in 2006. Their love of comedy and all things silly has kept them going ever since. They've been roommates and travel buddies when performing across the East Coast. Ask Rich to tell you a funny story. Trust me. He will.
