The SEMA Future Leaders Network (FLN) has named Albert Torres, national sales manager at RIGID Industries, as the network's newest spotlight member.
Get to know Torres in his interview with SEMA News below.
SEMA News: What is the best advice you have ever received?
Albert Torres: Everyone makes mistakes. It's how you adjust and correct the mistake that matters. This advice has allowed me to take chances and be more open to new things and changes.
SN: What keeps you in the industry?
AT: The community, for one, is phenomenal. When at an event or on a trail run, it is great to see everyone support each other.
SN: Where can you be found on a Saturday?
AT: When I am not working an event, you will find me on a baseball field. Two of my kids play baseball and I help with coaching as well. If there is no baseball or work, then camping is the go-to.
SN: How do you prepare for an important meeting?
AT: I like to make a list of my main points or questions prior to going to the meeting.
SN: If you could go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, who would it be?
AT: Well, it wasn't lunch, but I was stoked this past MINT 400 to have the opportunity to meet [former professional off-road racer] Ivan Stewart. The guy is a legend! Ivan had a great presence at this last MINT 400, and it was great to hear some of his racing stories.
