The SEMA Future Leaders Network (FLN) has named Brandyn Townsend, customer care specialist at Smithers, as the network's newest spotlight member.
Get to know Townsend in his interview with SEMA News below.
SEMA News: What is the best advice you have ever received?
Brandyn Townsend: Sacrifice today for a better tomorrow. I decided after earning an associate's degree in automotive to go back to school in my late 20s to get an engineering degree. I am still working on it, and I know once it is complete it will help me in the future.
SN: What keeps you in the industry?
BT: I enjoy seeing the advances that this industry has made. I have loved racing, cars and motors since I was 10 years old. Since then, my jobs have always been in the automotive industry.
SN: Where can you be found on a Saturday?
BT: I can be found at one of my daughter's sporting events, baseball or hockey game or the local circle track.
SN: How do you prepare for an important meeting?
BT: Look over the material a few times and have my notes ready. There is nothing worse than going into an important meeting unprepared.
SN: If you could go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, who would it be?
BT: Dale Earnhardt Jr.
