AUTOMOTIVE

The automative industry is one that was certainly not immune to the adverse effects of the pandemic this year. Yet, many inspiring stories have come out from leaders that have been maneuvering the industry to new technological and digital means that not only keep the motoring world thriving but also advancing the country’s name on the world stage.

FELIX ANG

President, Auto Nation Group, Inc. After a celebratory year in 2019, marking 30 years since founding CATS Motors, it was then declared that 2020 be the beginning of a new chapter for the company entering its next 30. Although this year undoubtedly presented challenges never before seen, the deep bonds of family that runs within the company is sure to provide stability for CATS. This is seen in Felix’ son Frankie who, through his own merit, has earned his role as COO of Auto Nation Group. With the company’s focus on digital platforms and technologies along with an always impressive portfolio of car brands, Felix has made a seemingly challenging year into one of growth and legacy.

KEITH HAW

Founder, Import Hookup

Reflecting on what the year has taught him, Keith Haw shares, “2020 was quite an extraordinary and challenging year for everyone which led me to a few life changing realizations.” He the continues to list these points as, “First, the true meaning of life is short, and that everything can change in a span of a second. Second, health is wealth. I’m just grateful that despite everything, I, my family and friends are still all safe. Third, I learned to appreciate the small things in life. I have abundant blessings, food to eat and shelter to live in. Fourth, jobs and businesses are temporary. You need to save up and be thankful that you still have income one way or another. Fifth, you need to have faith in God to survive. Having a strong faith

in God is essential to realizing all these things.”
