​
After achieving significant success in the technology sector, Lawrence faced a challenging health crisis during COVID, spending weeks in the hospital and on bed rest due to pneumonia. In search of a way to regain his strength, he was introduced to Instacart to get active and make a little money, at the same time. Initially, he was not interested at all! But, this unlikely experience ignited a newfound passion for connecting with customers and understanding their needs.
​
During his time with Instacart, Lawrence recognized the pressing challenges faced by the elderly and disabled in accessing groceries efficiently. Inspired by this insight, he founded My Name is Quick, a service now collaborating with over 50 independent homes to provide timely grocery delivery to those in need.

Today, Lawrence leads Forte + Family Brands, a dynamic company that encompasses innovative tech and delivery solutions.
