I'm just trying to stop this guy from destroying more than what he already has is all. No, I don't have access to his router. No I don't have the software I have from work, you are correct. Because I don't want to end up in federal prison (even though it's already 45 minutes from home, but I digress)
I'm doing this the hard way, and it isn't easy. I've gotten information from a few people about him, where he's been, what he's done to other sites and I'm picking up the pieces from those sites and those people to put together a big picture, it's just taking some time is all.

No, I am just stating the facts. My credentials as an InfoSec professional runs back a hell of long time, including speaking at both Blackhat and DefCon, and being a founding member of a hacker (in the real sense of the word) group.
Tracing down a DDoS attacker in the manner you are saying you are doing is a waste of time, since you are unable to document anything, unable to collect and analyse any forensic evidence from computers and routers used in the attacks, and only goes by what you get from the AIM chat that alledgedly has been initiated by the attacker.
In my book, your approach is as much fail as what the scriddie did. None of what you might be able to collect can in any way be used to bring the attacker to justice.
As for what I am doing for the community to maintain and possibly prevent such things from happening again, those in the need to know knows. There's no need for me to post "look at me, I am a l337 haxorcatcher and I will save you all" messages on neither the forum, skype or any other means of communicating with the community.
Appearently you feel that need, which contradicts your alledged military InfoSec training big time, based on the experience I have working with both LEO and MIL InfoSec's for the past 20+ years.
Heck I'm so old in the field of computing, it wasn't even called IT back then, but EDP.
