He lives in Spring Green, Wisconsin and is originally from Livingston, Wisconsin. His parents are Nick and Jodi Solomon. He has three brothers Max, Jake and Cole Solomon.

In high school, Beau played basketball, golf, and football, making all-conference as a quarterback for the River Valley High School football team.

On Thursday June 30, 2016 Beau went to John Cabot University in Rome, Italy for a summer exchange program.

Disappearance

Beau went missing on June 30, 2016 the first day of his exchange at John Cabot University in Rome, Italy. He went to a bar in Rome with friends when the group, upon leaving, noticed he had disappeared.

His friends reported him missing the next day when he did not show up for classes.

His parents Nick and Jodi Solomon have flown to Rome to help look for him. Both Italian and American authorities are searching for Beau.

Beau's credit card was used after his disappearance with over $1,500 being charged to the card.

Death

John Cabot University where he was studying has said that police are investigating Beau's death as a crime.

Jake Solomon said "In our family, he (Beau) is the one who does it all right.

He's an incredible athlete.

He is the one that keeps us all together," Jake also said of his brother "He was driven, career oriented," and that his brother is a cancer survivor.

A friend from high school Abby Korenchan said that she, "assumed he (Beau) was unreachable because he was the quarterback … he was always really nice to everybody."
