Erick Rogers
I am a Colorado native who grew up in West Denver and attended Green Mountain High School. My family owned Gordo’s Mexican Food Restaurant in Lakewood. I grew up in the industry and spent my early professional career working in the family business. My love of cars started at an early age. When I was six, my parents purchased a go kart for my birthday and I have been hooked on motor sports ever since. My dad and I would attend races all over the area and he sponsored a World of Outlaws sprint car for many years. Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and Mile High Nationals at Bandimere (RIP) were annual events for us.
After leaving the restaurant industry, I went to work in hospitality adjacent fields but was never passionate about what I was doing. I decided it was time to follow my passion and get into the automotive industry and started my new career path with another established Colorado brokerage company. After several years there, I moved to Centennial Leasing & Sales where I have been since. Similar to many brokers here at Centennial, my experience began as a client. I was always impressed by their consultative approach to car buying and the ease of their process.
I truly love being an auto broker. Seeing the look on my clients faces when they take delivery of their new car is extremely gratifying. Having the industry knowledge to be an automotive consultant who helps to guide people through a process that many people do not enjoy is what keeps me coming back every day. I earn a great deal of repeat and referral business because of my ability to simplify the process for my clients. Listening to their needs and being communicative throughout the buying process has earned me a loyal base who know when they need anything car-related they only have to make one phone call.
Hobbies
Being a Colorado native, skiing is of course one of the many ways my family and I enjoy our free time. We also enjoy spending time at our community pool and when we travel there is almost always a beach and ocean involved when it's not ski season. I am very passionate about my Denver sports teams and athletics in general. I have an 11 year old son named Jack and a 9 year old daughter named Liliana who both enjoy sports and being outdoors. I have been married to my wife, Michela now for 15 years. We live in Ken Caryl where we absolutely enjoy the amenities and have formed a great community of friends and neighbors.
