She married her high school sweetheart, Camden, in 2019 and is actively involved in her local church's kids and youth ministries.

Valorie George

Valorie is a local–born and raised in Raleigh, NC, attended UNC Chapel Hill and now resides in Durham–but she has also lived internationally and loves to travel. She enjoys being outside, coffee (she's also a barista!), baking and quality time with friends and family. Big on people but also big on details, Valorie keeps things organized for Forever & Company as the executive assistant.

Josh Owen

Vendor Relations
Born and raised right here in Raleigh, Josh attended Liberty University where he studied Philosophy. Gifted with people skills, Josh is excited to serve you in Vendor Relations. When he’s not spending time at Forever & Company, you can find him yelling “Fore!” on the golf course, grunting on the pickleball courts, or reading classic works of philosophy!
