Britt MooreBritt is Austin's cousin. Britt is in the coast guard and currently lives in North Carolina with his wife, Jill and daughter, Claudia. Britt was the bass guitarist for the infamous band. His nickname Rambo has stuck because he's loyal, he's a rock, and at one point he had some serious locks.
Jason HawkinsJason and Austin have been friends since they met playing T-Ball in elementary school. Jason lives in Chicago with his wife Alyssa, working for a logistics company. Austin and Jason used to get in so much trouble, one time Austin accidentally saw a note card from their teacher that said "Never sit Austin and Jason together"-- And that's when Austin knew Jason was one of his best friends. They have a decade long debate over who is the better athlete-- Lance Armstrong or Tiger Woods (pre-dual-scandals).
