GROOM’S BROTHER + GROOMSMAN
Next up is Eric—Joe’s younger brother. Their relationship has had all the classic elements of brotherhood: relentless teasing, competitive showdowns, and Joe fully embracing his role as the annoying older sibling. Despite their differences, one thing always kept them connected—sports. Whether it was battling on the basketball court or just finding new ways to
outdo each other, their rivalry was fierce, and the trash talk was endless.
Growing up, they weren’t always the closest, but over the last 6–7 years, their bond has strengthened. The real turning point? Eric and his amazing wife, Nadia, finally making a long- overdue visit to Denver. After that trip, something clicked, and their relationship evolved from occasional brotherly banter to a true friendship that continues to grow. Joe appreciates Eric’s sharp, quick humor, and knows that, no matter what, Eric is someone he can always count on.

Recently, Eric leveled up in life by becoming a dad to his son, Elias. Watching him step into fatherhood with so much care and love has only deepened Joe’s respect for him. It’s just one more reason why Eric is standing up here today—because beyond the competition, the jokes, and years of sibling rivalry, he’s proven time and time again that he’s not just a great brother, but a lifelong friend.
