He has worked on campaigns for Nikon, both in his home state of Colorado and internationally. His Ecuador video for Nikon has had over 80k views. He has taught not just at the workshops but on stage for camera clubs as well as Photoplus in New York.  

​Forest’s deepest passion lies in the mountains. As an avid outdoor enthusiast, Forest uses his camera to share his love of adventure and the natural world. His background is rooted in outdoor education where the mountains have been his classroom to bring people closer to the outside world. He has lived all over the U.S. including California, Utah, and even a remote mining town in Alaska.”
