I might've been one of the only BN'ers to ever meet him, granted it was only once that I remember but the one time I did meet him he said we chatted at the LHBS before then... Anyway he was from a very well to do area south of Nashville called Brentwood. The time I do remember meeting him was at a brew club meeting. His mom actually drove him to the meeting and he brought a beer he had brewed himself. I remember him telling me his mom had taken him to the LHBS and bought him one of the Brewers Best kits to start off with. I don't remember the beer being bad, he was a pretty smart guy even at his age so I;m sure he followed the instructions and did everything right.
Well sadly even though his beer was good, we couldn't accept his membership into the HBC due to his age. I remember hearing that shortly after that he sent a handwritten note thanking the club for being nice and giving him some good advice. I never saw the note, but thats what I was told.
I never saw him again, although I heard he had continued to brew at home. A couple of years ago when he started in the BN and on the More Beer forums I chatted with him once again and he had moved to Kentucky to live with his dad. Good kid, that by all accounts had a good path picked out before something de-railed him.
