Completing the D.A.R.E program at Salt Creek Intermediate School, acting, making impressions, attending Homecoming, Prom, and handing out Halloween Candy to younger students were some of his favorite things to do at school. When he was not at school, he was tinkering with anything that fascinated him. He loved Transformers and acquired quite a collection of them. He enjoyed model trains and r/c cars. His fascination for History was unmatched. He was an avid gamer and enjoyed anything sci-fi or anime related. Forest also had a side for adventure.
