Forest joined the Homestead Timber Frames family in 2024, after moving to Cookeville to attend Tennessee Tech University the year before. He first connected with HTF through a family friend and one of HTF’s clients, who knew he’d be a great fit. From day one, Forest has been a great fit with the team and continues to be an asset to the team.
He especially loves the layout process, describing it as a giant puzzle he gets to solve—one that keeps the work both enjoyable and fulfilling. Outside the shop, Forest enjoys writing, visiting nature parks, and spending time with his family (and the HTF crew, who he also considers family). Forest also has a soft spot in his heart for Justin’s dog.
It didn’t take long for Forest to become part of the heart of Homestead Timber Frames—and in fact, Dawn has officially “adopted” him.
