Before discovering
Reynolds more thanl2
years ago, Forester worked
as the head golf profession
al in The Members Club at
Four Streams in Maryland.
While his transition to
Reynolds was similar,
Forester says his favorite
aspect of his current role is
the people.
“I interact with so many
people every day, from
members and guests to
coworkers,” says Forester.
“Each day is different and
presents unique challeng
es, but the people remain
consistently great, making

coming to work easy.”
Forester enjoys being
active and spending time
outdoors with his family,
wife Patsy, their two sons,
Ethan and Luke, and dog,
Khloe. Forester is also an
active member of PGA of
America.
Peek worked as a guest
services representative at
Port Armor, an adminis
trative assistant at Athens
Technical College and a
motivational circuit trainer
at Curves for Women before
joining the Reynolds con
cierge team nearly 13 years
ago. Peek often reflects on
how the community has
developed over the years,
transforming from just a
place of superior golf to one
of family enjoyment and a
great getaway.
“I enjoy communicat
ing with our members on
a daily basis,” says Peek.
‘Welcoming them from all
over the world to experience
Peachez Peek
Reynolds Lake Oconee and
the lifestyle it provides is
such a pleasure.”
When not making res
ervations or booking tee
times, Peek enjoys travel
ing, singing, cardio dancing
and shoe shopping. She also
has a passion for giving
back and helping others
make their dreams a reality
through organizations like
New Springfield Girls, Inc.,
Traveling Divas and Forbid
den Fruit Dance Group.
Prior to her career at
Reynolds, Somers spent
13 years in Athens before
moving northwest to
Seattle, Washington, to
be closer to family, where
she worked as a contract
ed employee for Microsoft.
Eventually she wanted to
get away from the city con
gestion and moved back
“home” to Georgia. Somers
joined the real estate team
in 2000 and still enjoys
the calming experience of
Wes Forester
entering Reynolds every
day, observing the pristine
surroundings of the com
munity.
“My position allows me
to meet and interact with
many different kinds of
people: buyers, sellers,
loan officers, attorneys and
their assistants, inspectors,
surveyors and sales execu
tives, just to name a few,”
says Somers. “I’ve learned
a great deal from every
individual and appreciate
the benefits and knowledge
these ongoing interactions
have added to my overall
position.”
In her free time, Somers
enjoys watching her favorite
team, the Atlanta Braves,
cooking and traveling.
Her hobbies also include
gardening, both indoors
and outdoors, visiting her
daughter in Atlanta and
son in Athens as well as
spending quality time with
her boyfriend and five cats.
