The SEMA Future Leaders Network (FLN) has named Tariq Ghani, community manager at Timbren Industries, as the network's newest spotlight member.
Get to know Ghani in his interview with SEMA News below.
SEMA News: What is the best advice you have ever received?
Tariq Ghani: Slow down. We often tend to rush when we feel pressure or are busy. Mistakes get made. Slow down and process all before moving.
SN: What keeps you in the industry?
TG: The growing user base in this industry--all the different age groups, the lifestyle of it, the off-road scene, towing and hauling, etc. It's always interesting to me, and I find it great.
SN: Where can you be found on a Saturday?
TG: Fishing, family time or being active in some way. Also wrenching on my car!
SN: How do you prepare for an important meeting?
TG: I review my notes and have a set idea of how I want to relay my thoughts and feelings in that meeting properly.
SN: If you could go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, who would it be?
TG: Probably the founders of SEMA! I would pick their brain on what they were thinking at the time when they had all these ideas that since then have blossomed and exploded into what we see today.
