Call Me The VEEP! Tennessee ABC Names New Second In Command

Zack Blair – Assistant Director, Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission

Zack Blair has been named Assistant Director of the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

Previously, Assistant Director Blair served as Director of Legislation for the Department of Children’s Services for the State of Tennessee.

Assistant Director Blair whet his appetite for the alcoholic beverage industry while working as Legislative Assistant to Senator Bill Ketron. Assistant Director Blair’s first experience with alcoholic beverage law was during the second year of the WIGS struggle, back in 2008, when he served as a legislative intern during college while a student at Lipscomb University. Senator Ketron is generally known as the godfather of liquor legislation in the State Senate.

Assistant Director Blair is a native Middle Tennessean and a third generation graduate from Smyrna High School.

Although a truly native Tennessean, the classic Eagles “New Kid in Town” comes to mind:

There’s talk on the street; it sounds so familiar
Great expectations, everybody’s watching you
People you meet, they all seem to know you
Even your old friends treat you like you’re something new

We wish Assistant Director Blair well in his new role.
