Samuel Foreman is John’s younger brother, and co-founder of the John Benjamin Foreman Foundation. Sam has always been passionate about athletic activities, socializing with friends, and spending time outdoors. Sam currently lives in Moab, Utah where he works for a guided adventure company and coaches rock climbing in one of the premier climbing locations in the world. Sam’s love of climbing has taken him to Canada, Mexico, Italy, Spain, Greece and Egypt among other international climbing destinations. Sam cherishes the memory of his brother John who taught him so much about building relationships with people who are different than him. Sam hopes through charitable giving to pay those lessons forward in John’s name by helping those who are fighting to break the cycle of mental and physical health issues that can be the fatal byproduct of the afflictions that took his big brother from him.
