Let’s get one thing straight: Forge Fade isn’t just a brand. It’s a movement. A mindset. A modern-day rebellion against the idea that masculinity has to be rigid, silent, or cookie-cutter. And if you’ve ever wondered where that fire came from—well, here’s the story.
I didn’t plan to build a men’s brand. I didn’t plan to become a founder. I didn’t plan to be disabled either.
But life doesn’t ask for permission before it reroutes you.
💥 The Breakdown That Built Me
Before the wheelchair, I was chasing a different kind of grind—one that didn’t quite fit. I was moving fast, but not deep. Then came the moment everything changed. My body said “pause,” but my spirit said “pivot.” And that pivot? It became Forge Fade.
Disability didn’t weaken me. It clarified me.
It stripped away the noise and handed me a mirror. I saw a man who still had vision, grit, and a story worth telling. I saw legacy—not just survival.
⌚ Why Watches?
Because they’re more than accessories. They’re symbols. Of time. Of tradition. Of resilience. Every Forge Fade piece is designed to remind men that they’re not defined by setbacks—they’re defined by how they rise.
I wanted to create something that felt like armor. Something that said, “You’ve been through it. And you’re still standing.”
⚙️ Building with Purpose
Forge Fade isn’t just about selling watches. It’s about affirming men who’ve been underestimated, overlooked, or told to “man up” without being asked what that even means.
It’s about redefining masculine confidence—through storytelling, design, and unapologetic authenticity.
And yes, I build campaigns from my chair. I write product descriptions with soul. I automate workflows like a mad scientist. And I do it all with the kind of clarity that only comes from being forced to slow down and see what really matters.
🧠 Legacy Over Limits
Being disabled didn’t end my ambition. It refined it.
Forge Fade is proof that your story—no matter how unexpected—can become your superpower. It’s not about hiding the hard parts. It’s about forging something bold from them.
So if you’re reading this and you’ve been knocked sideways by life, let me say this: You’re not broken. You’re being remade.
And when you’re ready to wear that truth on your wrist, you know where to find us.
