    My youngest brother, Liam is 9 years younger and about 9 inches taller… Me and Liam talk every week and it is the highlight of my weekend to see him become the confident musical man he is now

    Joe Downs is a magical thespian and physicsman who will ask you how much you know about lightning to brighten the workday. Joe was my internship mentor before he was my dear friend

    We both love D&D, silly crafts, climbing, robots, and neuroscience. Raph is scarily similar to me except that he was a Hopkins frat president in college.

Gwen’s Side

  • Maddie Pruhs - Maid of Honor

    Maddie and Gwen met through friends in law school and became close second year, when Covid was calm enough to allow socialization again. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Maddie is a lawyer in New York City.

  • Lauren Baron - Bridesmaid

    Lauren and Gwen lived in the same builsing for two years of law school, leading to many sessions of watching conspiracy theories, old educational videos, and whatever else was free on Roku. Adventurous and crafty, Lauren is always down to explore and try new things. Orginally from Texas, Lauren is a lawyer in New York City.

  • Maggie Ellis - Bridesmaid and Sister

    Soon to be Maggie Gallo, Maggie is Gwen’s older sister. Self-dubbed “the worst Ellis sibling duo,” Maggie and Gwen get along like a house on fire. Maggie is an environmental consultant in New York City.

  • Sarah Cluck - Bridesmaid and Sister

    Sarah is the oldest of the three sisters. Despite being the oldest, Sarah is just as prone to absurdities as her sisters, a fact which we always seek to remind her of. Sarah works in investor relations in Chicago.

  • Kevin Torgas - Bridesman

    Kevin is friends with both Gwen and Justin and a D&D player. Always one for shenanigans, Kevin is a constant source of joy and memes. A Floridian at birth, Kevin now lives and works in Virginia.
