Our Story

Photos

We have been best friends since 4th grade, so more like a sister than a friend. From middle school basketball to college and beyond, we have remained close and have seen each other through every major milestone. She is also our mutual friend that introduced us to each other!

Anna Marie Smith

My little sister, and built in best friend! We are 6 years apart so I had the pleasure of teaching her how to drive a car, and if we can get through that I think we can get through anything. 

Anna Schwerin

Met through Gerard/Matthew, we have spent countless hours in the car together on road trips and have somehow never run out of things to talk about! We live 2 blocks away from each other so it makes it easy to pop in during an evening walk or our other favorite activity together- brunch at cafe strudel! 

Hannah Hogue

My other randomly selected freshman year roommate, not sure how I got so lucky! My first “northern” friend, which makes it a little harder to go and visit each other but we always pick up right where we left off! 

Julia Bixler

We knew each other at Coastal, but didn’t become close until I moved to Columbia and now I consider him one of my best friends. No matter what we’re doing, or where we’re going I know it’s going to be a good time!

Jesse Branham

Met in homeroom freshman year of high school, but became close friends in college. Summers in Columbia, road trips, and Saturday’s in Willy B have given us the best memories to hold onto. 

Devin Soni

My long time friend. Roommates for 5 years. We met freshman year of high school and quickly bonded over sprints to the car to go off campus for lunch.

Darius Gallman

We met freshman year of high school. Established a bond through high school sports, airsoft wars, and spending Saturday’s in the spring watching the greatest game on 2 feet.

Matthew Hogue

We met in college, through Devin. Our friendship was solidified through summer days at the pool, homework sessions, and hanging out almost every Tuesday and Thursday with Darius. 

Jeffrey Flood

My first cousin and kid brother. We’ve always been close and have grown even closer. We plotted on how to finesse our moms into letting us stay extra days and nights(sometimes just hours) at each others houses growing up. My best memories were nights spent on the den floor and in couch cushion forts on Trenton Drive - trying our best not to laugh at absolutely nothing so we wouldn’t wake the grown ups. 

Uriah Williams

Met through Alex/Anna Marie. Quickly bonded over shared last name, trips out of town, and mutual love of snowboarding!
