Presenter Information
Name: Alexander Valdovinos
Title: Ambassador, ARTO Brick and California Pavers
Background: Alexander's personal experience has been hands-on. He got his foot in the tile industry door by working at Mission Tile West in Santa Monica. There, he learned from mentors like Tom Rogers. Tom helped him refine his focus on people and find solutions through finish materials. At Mission Tile West, he had the opportunity to work on local parks and public spaces in Los Angeles. The fulfillment he received from creating environments for the community got him hooked to the tile industry. After being a loyal ARTO customer for five years at Mission Tile West, he wanted to join the ARTO family and continue his growth. The passion for creating, the relentless work ethic, and a keen focus on quality are what make him proud to represent ARTO Brick. Limitations inspire creation, and at ARTO, sometimes it's out of necessity.
