As exploration jobs can be inconstant, and the needs of his sons require proximity to a metropolitan area, Forbush simultaneously developed his geological consulting and financial advisory firms. The two unrelated businesses balance each other. Today Forbush maintains a small but loyal clientele in both his geological consulting firm and his financial advising practice. He enjoys helping his clients navigate the complex financial/insurance landscape and seeing them achieve their goals of financial security and independence. In his personal life, he enjoys looking after the needs of his family. DIY projects, coin collecting, writing, and whatever hobby the family may currently be experimenting with.
