Amy and Trista met when their boys were playing hockey together on a team based out of Cheboygan. They became close very quickly when carpooling and sharing rooms with the boys on hockey weekends. Trista can always count on Amy for solid insighful advice! She is a loving, smart, and strong mother and friend. She has an infectious smile and laugh that lights up a room.

Steve is Brads second best friend after Trista. Words cannot express how giving he is. They don’t make friends like this every day. He is always there when you need him. A successful business owner, in many different avenues, including owning a golf course and resorts. You wouldn’t know it though, he ties his shoes just the way we all do. He is a very devoted husband and father. Someone who Brad has always and will always look up to.
