After his parents’ separation at the age of seven, Forrest moved to Los Angeles with his father at fourteen. He graduated from William Howard Taft High School, where he was recognized as a first-team all-city offensive player of the year in football during his senior year.

For the next four years, Forrest honed his skills across various industries, including life insurance, home improvement, solar energy, and more. His tenacity and business acumen were further refined under the mentorship of Executive Vice Chairman Moe Shaw at World Financial Group. 

In August 2021, Forrest started working in marketing in Cleveland, Ohio. By March 2022, he founded his own firm ‘Carter Legacy Enterprises’. Within just seven months, he broke a national record by being promoted to business owner, securing a deal with AT&T and Direct TV in Lexington. Over the past two years, his company has generated over $1.5 million in revenue, a testament to his leadership and strategic vision. 

Now considering furthering his education with a master’s degree in theology and Christian ministry from Franciscan University, Forrest is deeply committed to his faith and personal growth. His journey from a challenging childhood to successful entrepreneurship inspires many, showcasing the power of determination, faith, and continuous self-improvement.
