Former Rep. Randy Forbes hasn't slowed down eight months after leaving Congress. He's built a new life at 65 that involves education, defense study and a lucrative position with a major Washington law firm.
Earlier this month the Chesapeake native joined the Washington office of Greenberg Traurig where he is a senior director and part of the firm's government, law and policy practice.
The new position adds to a portfolio that already includes a teaching position at Regent University in Virginia Beach and a fellowship at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, R.I. Forbes also has joined the board of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a Washington think tank specializing in defense and national security.
