After earning his undergraduate degree from Utah Valley University in Orem, he pursued a Master of Physician Assistant Studies at Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona, graduating in 2022. Forrest’s journey to becoming a PA has been deeply shaped by his time working in an assisted living facility as a memory care director, a role in which he developed a strong commitment to working with dementia patients. His passion for patient-centered care continues to guide his work today.
Forrest is particularly interested in working in mental health, motivated by personal experiences and by seeing the profound impact of mental health on friends and family. He understands how crucial compassionate, dedicated care can be and is eager to make a difference in this field, contributing to the well-being and recovery of those he serves.
He is also a devoted husband and proud father of three children. In his personal life, Forrest seeks adventure in the outdoors and finds fulfillment in sharing these passions with his family. His love for outdoor activities includes hiking, camping, hunting, and a wide range of sports, though he has a special interest in disc golf. More recently, he has discovered a love for regular golf, enjoying the challenge, technique and focus it requires. Forrest’s blend of professional dedication and personal interests reflects his commitment to continuous growth and balanced living, both in his career and his life outside of work.
