From a Garage
to Something Bigger
NorthForge Allianz is a family business built over more than a decade of entrepreneurship, persistence, and a constant search for opportunity.
​
Our journey began in 2015 in the Tampa Bay area, operating from a family garage and selling telecommunications and fiber-optic equipment online. We experimented with different areas of e-commerce, learned the business from the ground up, and experienced both successes and setbacks along the way.
​
Everything changed when we expanded into wholesale. What started as a small online operation began opening doors to bigger opportunities, stronger relationships, and a much larger vision for the future.
OUR STORY
A DETOUR THAT DEFINED US
Sometimes the Hardest
Chapters Make You Stronger
Entrepreneurship rarely follows a straight line.
Along the way, Paul pursued another longtime passion and opened a casual Italian pizzeria near the beach in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The restaurant was an immediate success—but only three months after opening its doors, COVID-19 changed everything.
After an extraordinarily difficult year, we made the painful decision to sell the restaurant. The experience tested our resilience, adaptability, and determination, while reminding us of the importance of focusing on what truly matters.
What could have been the end of one entrepreneurial journey instead became the beginning of a more focused one.
