Making Mom Proud

Date: March 24, 2025

In life, one decision can often change the trajectory of an entire family. For Albert Lau, President of The Elite Agency, that decision was choosing a career that not only provided financial security, but also gave him the opportunity to make a difference.

Albert and his sister were raised by their single mother in the fast-paced city of Los Angeles. She worked tirelessly to provide for them, instilling in Albert the values of hard work and perseverance. Determined to make her proud, he excelled in school, graduated from college and set his sights on law school.

Two years in, Albert realized that practicing law wasn’t his true calling. Despite knowing his mother would be disappointed, he made the difficult decision to walk away and find a career that aligned with his strengths and ambitions. That journey led him to the insurance industry, where he discovered not only financial success but also a passion for mentorship and service.

Today, Albert leads a thriving agency built on diversity, resilience and a commitment to helping others. Through his work, he empowers agents to succeed, supports his community and ensures families have the protection they need. While his path may have taken an unexpected turn, Albert knows that his ability to impact so many lives has made his mother prouder than ever.

At Integrity, we celebrate leaders like Albert, who prove that success isn’t just about following expectations — it’s about forging your own path and lifting others along the way. Learn more about Albert and The Elite Agency team here!
