Bill Van Ornum
Best Man
Chis and Bill have known each other for 9 year and met while playing softball. According to Chris, Bill has no fun facts... except he could clear out a room after he has had a 30 pack of beers. Apparently Chris only likes Bill because he plays catch with him.
Kent Christen
Groomsman
Chris and Kent have known each other since the early 2000s and met in the army. Chris thought he couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn (while hunting) but Kent proved me wrong this year on a sleeping buck. Kent is the only guy Chris know that waits for a buck to bed down before he shoots it.
Scott Schmeidel
Groomsman
Chris has known Scott since 1997 and met while working at Banner Packaging. Scott has more garage bucks than anyone Chis knows. Scott also is a social butterfly and knows half of Oshkosh. He can go anywhere and know someone (his wife Jane can vouch for Chris on this). Chris also has never heard a guy complain so much about him throwing back a 15 inch walleye.
Pat Burns
Groomsman
Chris and Pat have known each other since 1997 and we met while working at Banner Packaging. Pat has made more money than anyone Chris knows. Pat is always willing to help out and he will do more fishing and hunting NEXT YEAR which Chris has been hearing about since 1997. Pat is the only guy Chris knows that lets ducks land before he shoots them.
