"To be successful so that I can help others is what inspires me,"" said Forest. "My goal is always to make those around me better and provide them the tools they need to succeed."
Originally from Michigan, Forest moved to Tennessee when he was 17 and earned his bachelor’s in business administration from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in spring 2020.
In his free time, Forest pursues his latest pastime of golf, a sport he recently picked up after finishing college. He also enjoys playing ice hockey, which he has played since he was 4 years old. He currently plays in an adult recreational league. He’s a fan of other sports, too, especially rooting for the Michigan State Spartans in college football and basketball and following all of Detroit’s professional sports teams.
Forest lives with Sophie, his 8-year-old husky/border collie, who is incredibly active and keeps him outdoors a lot. And the exercise is good because it helps him work off his favorite food: pizza!
