Too late to contact?

Hi GUys. So, I was at a networking event in April/May ( forget which exact month). Anyway, I was introduced to a guy who happened to be the head of HR at a BB. We talked for a while had some beers. I got his name and email but that was it. Did not contact him after that. I am actually getting ready to apply to his bank soon.... Would it be possible to reach out to him now, just for the chance he might remember? Or would that be crazy.

Do you ever not start a thread when you have a question? you are the biggest leech on WSO, BY FAR.

"Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat, that's a fact.

hahahahaha craziest forum post/answer post ratio ever. This guy has literally used WSO as his life and career planning consultant.

"Yes. Money has been a little bit tight lately, but at the end of my life, when I'm sitting on my yacht, am I gonna be thinking about how much money I have? No. I'm gonna be thinking about how many friends I have and my children and my comedy albums."
