Born in Brooklyn, raised in Puerto Rico, and living in Tampa Bay for the last 9 years, Eric is well accustomed to diversity and to engaging with the varied backgrounds of his community. With a passion for art that he shares with his 5 children, he is currently studying graphic design and draws often in his free time. He also plays basketball with his kids, and enjoys watching the NBA; Eric says his favorite player is Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors. Not just his children, his family also includes 3 dogs that he is sure to include in his family’s activities. When asked where his favorite travel destination would be, he did not hesitate to say Hawai’i to see its beautiful environments and impressive volcanoes.

Eric has spent the last 8 years of his 9 years in Tampa Bay with Car Credit. He explains that though he has worked with other dealerships, Car Credit’s special method of helping customers obtain financing has helped to instill pride in the work he does there. Well-versed in Car Credit’s approval process, he explains that they take a different approach when looking at customers’ credit history and consider it in a reasonable, sensible manner rather than the often arbitrary way that most dealerships approve or deny financing. When asked about his most memorable experience with Car Credit, Eric recalled when he was able to help a Cuban mom obtain the 3-row SUV that she needed for her large family. Though she could prove her ability to afford the vehicle, her credit held her back at other dealerships. Eric could tell he made a difference in this mom’s life in being able to approve her with Car Credit’s more personalized approach to financing.

With a unique understanding of the communities within which its dealerships are located, Carlos and his team believe that cultivating a connection with these communities is the key to serving everyone who walks through its doors.
