Ethan Turner
Best Man
From surviving college life at Grove City and living in the same hall to continuing the friendship across the country with plenty of adventures in between. I have been a long-time friend of Josh. We have experienced grand travels together in Europe and across the US, finding new paths, paragliding in Switzerland, and enjoying punch kugels in between the action.

Zachary Risinger
Groomsman
The Roommate Josh can't get rid of: Friends for 10 years, Roommates for 5, Zach and Josh have a bond forged over late-night pizza rolls and constant competition. He is the friend who convinces Josh to explore abandoned places, touch grass, and skip class to watch "one more episode". Even though Zach has moved out and has a family of his own, he still finds excuses to come over and fall asleep on Josh's couch.
Benjamin Green
Groomsman
I am a software engineer and a graduate of Grove City College. GCC is where I first met Josh, though we didn't really become friends until after college, when he moved into the Harry Potter closet of the apartment I shared with Zach and Connor. We've been friends and roommates ever since. Besides some of my immediate family, Josh is the person with whom I have lived the longest. I'm going to miss the races to determine which roommate is the fastest, the last-minute Bible study recruitment attempts, the spur-of-the-moment game nights, and using League of Legends to try to find ourselves wives, but I wouldn't wish to lose those any other way.
Nate Heist
Groomsman
Nate knows Josh and Joelle through attending North Way together with his wife Kyleigh. They bond through hiking, bouldering, board games, movie nights and gun ranges. He actively tries to get Josh to buy a house in his neighborhood… only time will tell.
Timothy Hall
Groomsman
Hi, I'm Tim Hall - a friend of Josh. Josh was one of the first people that I met in Hicks's freshman hall when I came into Grove City as a transfer student, and he immediately made me feel at home in a new environment. We had a lot of fun together in college via meals, IM sports, and navigating various campus activities/college life . After graduation, I was excited to learn that Josh was moving to Pittsburgh! We both were itching for some adventures, and that carried us to the top of Spruce Knob in a waist-deep snow trek, to the Greyson Highlands for a camping trip in hurricane winds (which naturally cleared up the day after we set up camp), to Crested Butte and the Colorado wilderness, and as far as the colosseum of Rome and the beautiful Lake Oeschinesee in Switzerland. Josh has been a great friend, and we've made some incredible memories tackling different adventures. Looking forward to seeing him and Joelle kick off their best journey yet!
Brian Lee
Groomsman
I'm a friend of Josh's from college and was his roommate for several years at Grove City. I will be starting graduate school in the fall to study mechanisms of cancer progression. When I'm not in the lab or studying, I like to read, play sports (tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball), and watch Nationals baseball. Some of my favorite memories from college were late night movies with Josh--from Kingsman to Avengers Infinity War--and then nerding out about the events and guessing what would happen next.
