Malik’s used car dealership was the first in Alaska to provide digital financing with instant approval and home delivery. Not only has Malik proven he is recession and pandemic proof, but also retirement proof - he continues to work 60 hours a week despite being in his mid-60s. Malik’s drive stems from his deep love for his children. Nothing is more important to him than the security of his future generations.
