Good Night, Dude Perfect

About the Author

Dude Perfect is a group of five former college roommates from Texas A&M University who initially made basketball trick shots for fun. Cory Cotton, Coby Cotton, Garrett Hilbert, Cody Jones, and Tyler Toney had no idea what they were getting themselves into after that first ball swished, but they believe that nothing happens by accident and are grateful that they’ve had an opportunity to make an impact on the lives of countless others all around the globe. “The dudes”, who all call Texas home, have gone on to reach more than 12 billion viewers, sell out arena-events, and hold several Guinness World Records. Kristin Hilbert is originally from South Carolina but moved to Texas where she met high-school sweetheart, and now Dude, Garrett Hilbert. Kristin wanted a special way for her own little dudes to say good night to Daddy and his friends, and she wrote Good Night, Dude Perfect one sunny afternoon as the children played in the backyard. While Garrett makes trick shots, Kristin homeschools their children, savors time in nature and quiet days at home, and enjoys reading good books with her family.
