Forrest Barbee is director of education, and brokerage information and corporate broker for Prudential Americana Group, REALTORS®. Barbee has been with Americana Group since April 2003; he brings a diversified background in corporate management, information technology and education. He co-developed significant management and agent training programs and courses for classroom and online delivery this past year. Originally from Iowa, Barbee settled in Las Vegas in 2000. Prior to coming to Americana, he was an information technology manager for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and Northampton Community College in Bethlehem, Pa. While in Pennsylvania, Barbee obtained grant funding and was successful in setting up two separate associate degree programs as well as a technology academy. He also had the opportunity to co-found three separate businesses during the 1980s and 90s; this was an outgrowth of his own personal management- and technology-consulting “hobby.” He even led a successful turnaround for the owner of a privately held company that was heading for insolvency.
