How this started

Friends of friends.

It started with a simple observation. The best rooms are never the biggest ones. They are the ones where everyone is a friend of a friend — one warm introduction away from the next person worth knowing. Business partners, spouses, lifelong friends... all just two degrees away.

I'm Austin. I host these evenings because many of the connections I value most arrived secondhand, passed along by people I already trusted. Top Friends is my attempt to make more of those happen on purpose.

I can't wait to connect you.
