Groomsmen

Kevin Clover- Best Man

Father of the Groom and definitely the "Best Man" out of the group.  Kevin works for the FAA as  a National Safety Program Manager and is also a Pilot.  Preston is the person that he is today because of the excellent example that his dad has put forth.  From Scuba diving, dirt biking, waterskiing, jetskiing, snow skiing, and cooking, there is really nothing he cannot do.  Except for eating raisins.  Do not ask him to do that.  

Noah Veltman

Formerly a resident of San Francisco, Noah has accepted a year long position in London with the BBC as a Knight-Mozilla Fellow.  He has worked as a web developer, UI designer, and product manager for a variety of Silicon Valley startups, and previously worked with leading tech policy organizations on issues such as online privacy, free speech, and net neutrality.  He and Preston first met in his freshman dorm through mutual friends.  Since then, they have driven through parts of Australia, visited Horseshoe Bend, taken a day trip to Chicago for a sporting event and built T-shirt cannons together.  There is truly nothing he cannot do if he puts his mind to it.  Click here in order to find out more...

David Long

Dave is currently a student at Vanderbilt business school and also holds a law degree from Ole' Miss.  Preston and Dave met at Stanford in football camp and pretty much hit it off.  From having a full sized vending machine in their apartment to doing up downs at 6 am on frozen Astroturf, Dave and Preston have been through a lot and still made it through the other side.   Dave's knack for telling horrible pun related jokes is unrivaled.  

Tim Lipus

Tim is a Computer Programmer at Google in Mountain View, Ca.  That is his title, but he actually is much much more.  Tim is a crossword maniac and ultimate frisbee guru. His knowledge of Jeopardy trivia is unrivaled as well as his ability to create awkward situations with people he has just met.  A great roommate, a great friend.  Tim has never met a brain teaser that he could not conquer.  

Ross Porter

Ross currently works at a Solar Cell Company and has started his own hearing aid start up.  Ross has an incredible energy for life and practical jokes.  He was once described by a large portion of his 1st grade class as "sneaky".  Preston and Ross had countless classes together in college and worked on a steer by wire electric car project  where they were part of a team that built the frame from the ground up.  They have worked together, lived together, laughed together, and cried together.  Lastly, Ross is an accomplished soccer player and artist. The latter proven by this self portrait entitled "It's Mating Season."

Brian Hoffman

Hoff is a Mechanical Engineer and is currently going to business school at the Marshall School of Business at USC.  He has been one of Preston's best friends since High School where they played football together.  They have also taken more trips out to the Colorado River then they can count.  In high school, Hoff and Preston had the same chest measurement, waist measurement and bench press, but Hoff was a foot shorter.  Definitely impressive.  

Mason Hedgepeth - Ring Bearer

Mason is Preston's favorite nephew and will be the Ring Bearer at the wedding.  He is currently in 5th Grade and spends most of his time mastering the sweet remote control helicopter that his awesome Aunt and Uncle got him for Christmas.  He also knows way more then you do about how to work your computer and cell phone.
