You might want to experiment with two front light sources, one as a slight fill. Since you have willing subjects, take a lot of shots with the primary light moved around to see the resulting shadow formation. No one position is 'best' but you will see which works best with various face shapes and features. Canon 7D | EF 24-105L | EF 70-300 | EF 400 5.6L

What about the second one? I was intending to put a little separation between the subject and the background. I appreciate all C&C. Definitely gives me stuff to work on next time. -Jon

Separation is good, but thats strong enough that it draws attention to the technique which you really dont want.
