The self-proclaimed champion of bar games no one cares about. Also an attorney...eh, supposedly. James met Chris when he was attempting to boost the performance of his car. They've been friends ever since.

MaryBeth's cousin and her "bonus sister". MaryBeth nannied for Brianna and her brother for 2 summers filled with pool days, Lion's Choice ice cream cones, and daily reading time for the library's reading program (NOT Bri's favorite at the time!).

International man of mystery, CEO extraordinaire, jetsetter Monday through Thursday. Most importantly, friends with James Newbold.

College roommate, Seinfeld aficionado, knows the best back alley restaurants from south to southeast Asia.

Usher
Aka MixMaster, Headband, Williams, or Solid Dude. Good for a shakshouka recipe or world class copy writing. His pad Thai sauce is tourney-worthy.
Usher
An inquisitive mind, a classic romantic, and a gentle soul. Neck down fist fights on request.
