Bio

Hello, my name is Danny Forest and I’m a serial entrepreneur and a polymath. I’ve worked professionally as a software engineer, video game producer, writer, photographer, and more. I learn 3 new skills a month and have been doing that for 3 years.

I’m a dad of a newborn and I’ve been with my wife for over 16 years. I love to play video games, travel (I lived as a nomad for about 3 years), write, edit photos, hike, and much more. I currently live in Montreal, Canada.

If you want to connect with me, send me a request on LinkedIn with a short note: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannyforest/.

More about me on my personal website: DannyForest.com.
