Meet The Fores
Hey, we’re The Fores.
We’re a California family who traded routine for adventure — and turned “someday” into right now.
Mike’s from Riverside, and Stacy’s from a tiny town between Merced and Sacramento called Winton.
Two completely different paths that eventually crossed in 2007 while Stacy was on a work assignment in Riverside. A year later, we were married — and adventure officially became part of our DNA.
The Early Years
After college, Stacy built a career in Asset Management for Off-Campus Student Housing, which took her all across the U.S.
Mike proudly served in the United States Coast Guard, where he learned the kind of discipline and heart that would later define how we approached everything — work, family, and life itself.
In 2008, Stacy’s job offered a relocation to Oklahoma, and we said yes without hesitation.
We landed in Edmond, raised our daughter Savannah, and spent the next 18 years building a life we loved — family dinners, road trips, and growing a small business from the ground up.
In 2009, we opened our own Heating & Air Conditioning company — just the two of us, a few tools, and a lot of determination. Over 17 years, it grew into a thriving business with a full team, plumbing division, and a reputation we were proud of.
The Turning Point
On November 1, 2024, we sold the company that had shaped so much of our life and made the leap to something completely new.
Adventure had always been a theme in our story — road trips across the States, family time in Hawaii, exploring South America.
But now, that adventure has crossed oceans.
We’ve taken our lives — and our family — fully abroad.
From the rice fields of Thailand to the coastlines of Vietnam, we’re exploring, learning, and living this new chapter together.
The Family Behind the Journey
Traveling with our daughter Savannah and our three grandkids — Liam (9), and twins Kadyn and Hadley (8) — has turned this into more than a move; it’s a multi-generational adventure.
It’s school mornings in a new language.
It’s scooter rides through city streets.
It’s finding comfort in unfamiliar places, laughter in every wrong turn, and memories that stretch farther than any map can show.
This isn’t a vacation — it’s real life. A life we’re building together, one country at a time.
Why We Built ForeTube
ForeTube started as a way to document our move abroad — but it’s grown into something more.
It’s for families like ours who wonder what life could look like outside the lines.
We share the real version of living abroad — the culture shock, the wins, the lessons, and the everyday moments that remind us how big and small the world can feel all at once.
Through our videos, memberships, and digital travel tools, we hope to inspire other families, couples, or dreamers to see that it’s possible — to pack up the “normal” and build a life that feels more like you.
Always Foreward
It’s not just our tagline — it’s our truth.
Every choice we’ve made, every border we’ve crossed, has been built on that idea:
Keep moving. Keep growing. Keep going.
We don’t have it all figured out — but we have each other, and that’s enough.
Welcome to The Fores.
Six travelers, one family, endless stories.
Thanks for being part of the adventure. 🌏
