Best Man
I've known this guy his entire life, some know him as Kyle, others as K-Good, but to me he's Cal. He's that little brother that drove me crazy while we were growing up, the one I wanted to beat up on all the time, but mom would never let me.. until of course the day that he outgrew me, outweighed me, and out muscled me. Now he just taunts me, egging me on so he can roll me up into a pretzel. Ladies and Gentleman, he is Kyle Goodwin, my brother, and my Best Man. Kyle is currently in his senior year at Bethany College working on his Computer Science major. He is also hitting bombs and throwing out people from deep shortstop on the baseball team. He hopes to one day be the sole owner of a waffle house.

Although Jordan and I went to high school together, our friendship really started as roommates our first year at WVU. In that small dorm room, I learned about her love of ice cream, sleep, and the mountains. We lived together the following three years at WVU and I'm proud to call her one of my closest friends. Jordan now lives in Denver and works as an engineer.

Caleb is one of my oldest friends, but we were bitter rivals back in the little league days. He tried to hit me multiple times when he was up there on the mound... JK. We have been through thick and thin together, through tough times and great ones, and we've made it out alive. We were great friends through high school, roommates at WVU, and even though we didn't go to the same med school, we talked everyday to help get each other through the chaos. Caleb will be Dr. Thrash by the end of May 2021, after graduating from WVU Medical School.

Allison is a fellow alumna of the WVU Exercise Physiology program. Our friendship however began during our first year of medical school. In med school it is so important to find friends that you can enjoy a relaxed night in with, study with, and who also won't bat an eye if you go a few weeks without talking because of the understanding that we're all insanely busy. That's what Allison has become for me. She's incredibly down to Earth while also capable of being the life of the party.

Matt and I met our freshman year of college at WVU. We began our friendship as suite mates that first year, and found out we both had similar interests. He liked math, I hated math, he enjoyed writing code, I couldn't even tell you what symbols were used. So, like I said, similar interests. Just kidding of course, some of my favorite memories from college were playing video games all hours of the day and night with Matt. Matt graduated from WVU with a computer engineering degree, he is currently working for some super secret government agency trying to save the world. Because we all know it needs some help.

Another WVU Ex Phys grad, Hillary is sincere, spunky, competitive, intelligent, the ultimate comic relief, and my go-to for references from "The Office". She is a unique mix of organization, work ethic, and fun that everyone deserves to have in a friend. After graduating from college, she is continuing her success as a dental student at WVU.

Sam and I also met our freshman year at WVU. We were suite mates that first year and then later continued living with Matt and Caleb the next 3 years. Sam is one the biggest WVU sports fans I know. I would like to say we have great memories of all the wins we experienced, but if anyone knows WVU, there isn't much of that. I remember the nights we cried in each others arms when we lost in the Big 12 tournament championship two years in a row. Sam graduated from WVU with an Accounting degree and is currently an Auditor for United Bank in the Washington D.C area. In his spare time he likes to count the national debt on his fingers, he is currently still working on that after many years.

Abundance and I met as exercise physiology students at WVU but it wasn't until our senior year that we became close friends. We bonded over our love for WVU sports, and spent hours either attending or watching games together. Once we became friends, I realized quickly she was one to keep around. She's as loyal as they come and we now get to continue our friendship as medical students together!

Known to most as Kyle, others as Foster, but to me he's Eddie. Kyle is another one of my oldest friends. But instead of bitter rivals like Caleb, Kyle and I were rocking the ball fields together since T-ball. Quite literally dominating the competition all through our youth baseball years. Along with baseball, Kyle played football in high school, and that took him to The University of Akron where he played D1 football. Kyle, Caleb, and I always stayed close throughout the years, so to say the least, I am very excited to have him up there with me.

Haley and I met in freshman year Biology lab when we sat at the same table day one, which meant we were together for the rest of the semester. After graduating college, we got to start medical school together. Over the last 5 years, she has consistently been someone I know I can go to for anything. Our similar personalities make it easy for venting or advice whenever the other needs it. I'm so happy she will be standing beside me on my wedding day!

Megan and I started dating when Thomas was 10 so I have literally been able to watch him grow up. Growing up is an understatement though, the kid is like 6'12" and he likes to remind me of how short I am compared to him. But over the years Thomas and I have become close, we've bonded over our common love of cars and engines. I consider Thomas my second brother, my much taller but much LESS good looking brother. Thomas is currently in his first year of college at the University of Cincinnati, he is pursuing a major in Operations Management. One day he would like open his own paper company just like his idol, Michael Scott.

The bridesmaid I've known the longest. As my (only slightly) younger cousin, I've known Kaysie essentially since the day she was born and I couldn't be more excited to have her standing next to me now. Her entire life, Kaysie has brought joy and a kind heart everywhere she goes. As she finishes up college at East Carolina University, I can't wait to watch as she continues to have a positive impact on those around her.
