Episode 2: Frank Torres – A Story of Purpose and Punchlines
Meet Frank Torres, a former radio station manager whose quick wit and passion for comedy had him on the path to a career in stand-up. But just as he was stepping onto new stages, life threw him an unexpected challenge—a diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The condition led to severe complications in his legs, exposing nerves and flesh, and requiring an innovative treatment using cod fish skin grafts to aid in his recovery.
Frank’s journey back to work wasn’t just about healing physically—it was about rediscovering his confidence, his purpose, and a new way to share his talents. Thanks to Peak Performers, Frank found a new role as an accountant, where he now thrives in a supportive workplace that recognizes his skills, humor, and determination. His colleagues aren’t just co-workers; they’ve become fans of his story, his talent, and his resilience.
Frank’s story is a testament to the fact that disability doesn’t define a person—it reveals their strength.
