27 Oct Mastering the Details: Victor’s Journey to Becoming a Logistics Expert
Every great business depends on people who can make things run smoothly behind the scenes. For Victor, that skill became the foundation of his career in logistics—a field that requires precision, patience, and problem-solving.
Victor’s path into logistics was not a straight line. He began his career as a video production manager, but when a friend opened a business in the firearms industry and needed help managing freight and supply coordination, Victor stepped into a completely new role. It turned out to be the perfect fit.
Logistics is all about managing the movement of goods—from fine art and cars to everyday products. It requires careful attention to detail, especially when dealing with paperwork and customs documents. “Everything has to be done perfectly,” Victor explained, “because one small mistake can cause serious delays.”
His growing expertise led to another opportunity when a friend purchased Box Brothers in La Jolla and needed someone with logistics experience. Once again, Victor’s skills made him the right person for the job.
Now, with years of experience under his belt, Victor says he is grateful for every opportunity that has come his way. He enjoys the challenge of the work and the satisfaction that comes with solving complex problems and keeping shipments on track.
His advice for anyone interested in this field is straightforward: “Be willing to start as an assistant so you can learn the regulations and the paperwork.”
At 51, Victor continues to build a rewarding career in logistics, proving that attention to detail and a willingness to learn can open doors to long-term success.
