Allen Nasty

For those who knew him in life, nothing more need be said as the impression that he left resonates to this day. For those who did not, spare a few moments to learn about the cofounder and leading influence on the club we know and love. Without his passion and sacrifice, it would not be here today.

Nasty was born in Dothan, where he lived for much of his life. He acquired his nickname in high school, a name that would stick for the rest of his life. Music was always one of his driving forces, which came to full fruition when he joined 213. Moving to Columbus he lived a life on the road.

Alongside Chad Sheppard he formed this club, being absolutely instrumental every step of the way in those early days. He was the National Vice President from the clubs inception until his tragic death in March of 2012. He was able to see the club grow to cover four states, and the founding of the first Plughouse, a template for the great things that were to come. Great things that would never have happened were it not for him Nasty was known for a number of things. He would take no shit. If he considered you a brother, he would do anything for you. This is a major reason why the focus of the club is family. Because of Allen and how he was towards his fellow brothers and sisters, we strive to be a home away from home for those who are looking. There are dozens of anecdotes about his life, stories to make a sailor blush or a nun cuss. He was the epitome of Punk Rock, a legend in his own time. There is a reason we honor him as much as we do. Allen Nasty is the perfect archetype of what a member of the PUWC should be.
