Forward is an SSBM Falco player from Arizona, who at his prime, was one of the top Falco players in the world. Forward was a notable influence on the Falco metagame, and traces of his style can be seen in nearly every top Falco player, most notable is his creation of the aerial shine into platform waveland combo starter.

His name is derived from Falco's side special, the Falco Phantasm. His tendency to SD with the move prompted him to name himself after it.

Beginning in March of 2006, Forward embarked on a five month tour of the United States. Starting with Cataclysm 3, he traveled from tournament to tournament, all across the United States. He placed 5th at Cataclysm 3, with players such as KoreanDJ, Mew2King, and PC Chris in attendance. Forward then made his way to Virginia, winning Fight Club, beating ChuDat, Husband, Wes, and Plank, he then proceeded to ride that momentum to Tennessee where he won Innsomnia V, and then to Illinois where he won SMYM 7 as well.

He is famous for the combo video "Forward's C.O.C.K" (Combos On Colorado Kids), produced by Chap.

At OC3, Forward gave his controller to Bombsoldier, and announced his retirement, though he still attends tournaments on occasion.
