Built by a Business Operator Who Has Used Technology for Decades

Vincenzo’s connection to technology started decades before AI became mainstream. Growing up between Canada and Italy, he was surrounded by early computers, video games, and technology. His family operated an arcade in Italy, and at home he learned on systems including the Commodore VIC-20, Commodore 64, and Atari.

By the 1990s, that curiosity had become hands-on experience. He taught himself computer hardware, BIOS configuration, networking, peripherals, HTML, and early website design. While operating restaurants, he also configured, programmed, and networked his own business and point-of-sale systems.

Vincenzo began his real estate career in 1999, but technology remained central to how he marketed, sold, served clients, and operated businesses.

Across decades in hospitality, sales, real estate, and local business operations, he kept seeing the same problem: good businesses losing opportunities because their websites, phones, CRM, marketing, and follow-up systems were disconnected.

That insight became Local Forge Systems. Today, Vincenzo combines 35+ years of real-world business experience with decades of hands-on technology experience to build connected revenue systems that help local businesses capture more leads, respond faster, and lose fewer opportunities.
