Brian Lu
Best Man & Real Estate Partner
Brian Lu (aka "Lulu") is best known for his algorithm which correctly estimates how much alcohol is needed for any party. As my real estate partner (roommate) for the last 9 years, we often gave each other dating/relationship advice - advice that has successfully kept us unmarried until now. Ever seen the movie Dumb & Dumber?
Drew Morrell
Fellow Gamecock Football Enthusiast
Drew was one of the very first people I met when I got to Ga Tech in September, 1994. He grew up in South Carolina like me, loved Gamecock football like me, but also way smarter than me. Naturally, I forced him to be best friends, and he's been stuck with me ever since. Drew's hobbies include golf, Backstreet Boys karaoke, and calling me an idiot.
Dave Brautigan
Fitness Partner & Birthday Brother
Dave (along with Drew and Brian) was a fraternity brother of mine at Ga Tech and a housemate at our off-campus house, affectionately referred to as "1008." Simply put, Dave is the most creative person I have ever met. And since his birthday is the day before mine, I've been able to leverage that creativity into some amazing birthday parties with Dave (check out his youtube page). We also share a love of female-oriented group fitness classes.
Sarat Ramayya
Fantasy Football Champion, 2016
I met Sarat when I moved back to Atlanta in 2005. He didn't warm up to me all that much until I took him to South Beach for Adult Spring Break in 2007 and introduced him to EDM, Cuban coffee, and Wet Willie's. Over the years we've come to appreciate our common views on work/life balance, Pizza Hut, and fine men's shoes. We still disagree over the college football playoff system and male capri pants.
Sir Charles
Isn't Coming to the Wedding
Charlie (aka Sir Charles) is Amy's puggle (pug/beagle mix) that I have now inherited. I swore up and down I would never live with a dog. And now I live with a dog. I guess that's the power of love. Charlie enjoys marking his territory all over the city, acting tough around smaller/weaker dogs, and fine dining.
