Forrest Gillespie

Forrest is Build It Green NYC's Donations Coordinator and Event Planner, and has been with BIG!NYC since its inception. He initially helped unload trucks at our temporary warehouse and put together our first shelves in the dark & subzero conditions. He keeps our trucks moving and the great finds coming into the warehouse, and bears a striking resemblance to James Dean. From founding a theater in Chico, CA, to writing a film script in India to working Alaskan fishing canneries to delivering organic vegetables in Turkey to ghost writing autobiographical novels for famous to be left un-named politicians, Forrest has done pretty much everything. He's also been known to sporadically put on plays at Zebulon and various other local venues.
