About Us
The Story
The name of the facility is "On Base Performance" and will cater to the local younger generation of future athletes to provide a place to help develop skills needed to grow. This has been a dream for the both of us to open a facility in the town we both live in. Our family run facility will be open and operating by 1/1/2026.
Background:
Matthew Lowney (Co-Owner)
Matt has been living in Canton with his family for 10 years. Matt grew up in Milton and moved to Canton in 2015. Matt's extended family also live in Canton and have been members of the Canton community for over 25 years. Matt has watched two nieces play sports in Canton and went onto college to continue playing. Matt worked for UPS for 5 years and for over a year delivered to Draper Properties as part of his route. His love for the building, company and its roots was something he never forgot. After working at UPS, Matt worked as an Operations Manager for a distribution company for 6 years. Matt grew up in the construction industry and has extensive knowledge in this field, which will help the day to day operations. When the opportunity arose to start OPB, it was a call he was ready for. Watching his child develop sports skills has been a thrill of a lifetime. This will only strengthen his passion for helping others achieve the same.
Robert Giglio (Co-Owner)
Rob is a lifelong resident in Canton (born and raised). He is the true definition of a "townie." He grew up on Bolivar Street and his family still resides in Canton. Rob has been working in software sales for over 20 years. With his children participating in the Canton Little League program, Rob got more involved with volunteering and coaching his kids and nieces. He served 5 years on the Canton Little League board as a player agent and later as Secretary. Rob coached Little League for 7 years, and coached club for 3 years. He hung up the clip board in 2025 to spend more time watching his children play rather than coaching. The opportunity to operate a facility in Canton is something he believes is great for the town. Growing up with limited space to train is something Rob is happy to provide- not only to his children, but the youth of Canton.
