Newbie from Saint Louie!

[Dave H]

Hey guys, I want to introduce myself and also piggyback on the last post from @Naked Spirits Distillery.  I am a newbie craft distiller and assistant distiller for Naked Spirits in St Louis, MO.  I am excited to embark on this journey and extremely grateful to the guys that are starting NS.  I have been doing self study on my own for the past year but never pulled the trigger on anything until I met these guys.  I was ecstatic to be allowed to intern for them and together we have been learning, experimenting, growing, and more than anything cleaning up after ourselves haha!  I recently started my own first batch of whiskey which I just posted about in the whiskey section because I am having issues.  So feel free to go there and comment. 

My background: I am a Navy vet, worked as a nuclear plant operator for 9 years onboard the USS George H W Bush.  I then separated from the Navy and went on to work as a maintenance planning specialist for Plant Vogtle in Georgia. And now I am back home in STL working as a Distribution System Supervisor for Ameren MO.

Other than that, I hope to grow and learn as a craft distiller.  I've even been considering attending Moonshine University's 6 day class.  I am ambitious and want to learn this amazing trade!  I look forward to hearing from all of you!  Thanks for allowing me to join and learn from some of the greatest minds in the industry!
