Forrest-Owner/Electrical Contractor
​Forrest began his Electrical career over 30 years ago in his hometown of Charleston, SC. His passion for custom homes was highlighted during his time working closely with builders and homeowners on Kiawah Island, Daniel Island, and the Mount Pleasant area where his reputation for trustworthiness, exceptional customer service, reliability, creativity, and overall professional distinction quickly preceded him.
In addition, he has proudly apprenticed many young helpers throughout his career, placing an emphasis on safety, work ethic, and demonstrating excellence on every project.
With the mountains calling, Forrest moved his family to the Foothills of WNC nearly 10 years ago where he maintains the same professional attributes today.
