Looking back at 2015's top stories, none shines brighter than the cover story from the November issue of Mobile Electronics, "Fishman Returns." The article covers the career of Dave "Fishman" Rivera, from his humble beginnings to his ascension to the top of the industry and aftermath. In case you missed it, here is that article:

There are lots of fish in the sea. Millions, in fact. Of those millions, there are three distinct classes: those without jaws, those with cartilage and those with bones. Only the bone class have flexible spines. Those fish include the penguin tetra and zebra danio. But there is another fish that has a spine and is also know for being named after another animal: the catfish. 

For over two decades, Dave "Fishman" Rivera has been building show cars using parts donated from manufacturers in exchange for a partnership and stake in the future of 12-volt. As a self-proclaimed "catfish," Rivera claims his struggles maintaining both personal and professional relationships have proven he must have nine lives to have survived this long in the industry. If his continued work and currnet reputation are any indication, Rivera likely has plenty of lives left, of which he hopes to use to help bring the 12-volt industry back to the heyday he helped create. 

Fresh off of being awarded the first Mobile Electronics Career Achievement award at the 2015 Industry Awards, Fishman is hard at work on what he considers to be his biggest goal: to unite the industry in a common goal.
