Catch Randy and Tyler on a weekend adding too much lighter fluid to the campfire and discussing philosophy in various posh accents.
Asher
Groomsman
Asher and Tyler met at the age of 9 on the first day of swim team practice, hit it off because they were the only two team members wearing speedos, and have been getting into mischief ever since. After serving as a Navy Coreman, Asher joined the oilfield specifically to have interesting conversations with Tyler. Father of two, husband, calligrapher, and former wine connoisseur, Asher now has a refined taste for juiceboxes and pan-seared steak.
Riley
Groomsman
Surrounded by the arid swamps outside Beaumont, Riley met Tyler under the lights of a double stacked, top drive Patterson drilling rig. Tyler and Riley have drilled approximately 59,418 ft worth of crooked hole in the ground. Father, gentleman, and pragmatist, Riley can entertain you during the wedding event with stories of the many different types of fish he has caught off the Gulf Coast.
Conley
Groomsman
Conley Norris - brother of Riley, friend of Tyler, and pursuer of dreams, Conley has recently left his desk at Phoenix Technology with Tyler in search of a new career in Houston's thriving housing market. Ask Conley about the time he was Tyler's date to a wedding.
Wesley
Groomsman
Wesley was Tyler's first friend growing up. Legend has it that on Thanksgiving, in preschool, Tyler and Wesley took home turkey drawings of each other - it made sense at the time. Poet, music aficionado, and braver of northern winters, Wesley is a dear friend for a lifetime.
Parker
Groomsman
The man, the legend, the dichotomy, both Bear and Aggie, Parker Lewis. After meeting Tyler at Baylor, Parker has pursued a successful GIS career in Houston. Hates wild hogs with a passion, loves barbecue with equal passion, and was the first friend of Tyler's that Mackenzy met! If Parker startles you with creative, dry wit, turn the tables and ask to see some photos of his recent hike at Zion.
Aric
Groomsman
Tyler and Aric met in a training boot camp after joining Phoenix Technology in the same month. Little did they know they'd work together on drilling rigs for the year to follow. After pursuing a successful career in oil & gas (and marrying up), Aric has finished a business degree and is pursuing more oil & gas. Ask him about the time Tyler decapitated a mouse in a trailer in Oklahoma.
