The title just about says it all. Karin’s job at PRIDE is to vet and implement strategies which improve profitability for PRIDE’S dealers. Karin found PRIDE through a newspaper ad for the Controller role, and the rest is history.

When she’s not busy charting PRIDE’s future path, she’s trying out new recipes, curling up with a good book, and, of course, spending time with her LSU college sweetheart!

Cathy gets great joy from each of her roles with PRIDE, and wouldn’t change a thing.

When not at the office, she’s spending time with her family in the great outdoors, living the Colorado lifestyle hiking, camping, shooting guns, and fly fishing! Most of her family is in Colorado, so it’s a good thing Cathy loves cooking for her crew!

PRIDEOLOGY 101: Cathy is a daredevil and has checked off bungie jumping in New Zealand, skydiving in Colorado, zip-lining in Costa Rica, spelunking in New Zealand, parasailing in Cabo, and heli-skiing in Winter Park from her bucket list.

Born in Salt Lake City but raised in Metro Denver, Cara’s career in the industry makes her the perfect fit for creating beneficial vendor partnerships with PRIDE dealers. Having worked several jobs in the industry, from dealership warehouses to General Manager to her role at PRIDE, Cara is always ready to take on new challenges with a smile!

Outside of the office, Cara enjoys kickboxing, paddleboarding, hiking, cycling, and exploring different places. She loves the outdoors and is proud to call Colorado her home.

PRIDEOLOGY 101: Cara has hiked thirteen of Colorado’s Fourteeners, and biked up Mt. Elbert!

Most likely to: Take her lottery winnings to the beaches of Mexico where her fluency in Spanish will be of much more use to her than it has been in the suburbs of Colorado.

Born a Cali girl who traded the beaches for the mountains, Corrina Rodriguez is convinced that an alien abduction is the only explanation for her moving to Colorado and joining PRIDE as the Executive Assistant. Corrina leads our administrative functions that include our IT systems, event planning and office management.

As our Director of Business Development, Eric is always one step ahead of the game and constantly thinks outside of the box for new opportunities for our company. He’s always striving to present our dealers with the most strategic and efficient programs and ensure everyone involved is satisfied with the final product. In 2007 Eric launched a Contract Design Dealership in Plymouth MN which was when his career with PRIDE began. When he’s not thinking about strategy for our company he loves working on fun vehicles and enjoys driving his 50th Anniversary Mustang GT out on the town. Though he enjoys driving V8 manual transmission cars, he also dabbles in sewing and makes fleece Footie blankets for friends going through tough times. Fun fact: he once ran a Warrior Dash with his friends and came in last in his age group only to find out he ran the entire race with a bad case of pneumonia!

The money man!  Some call Kyle “Z” as his last name is difficult to pronounce. He moved to the mile-high state in 2020 coming from Georgia.  He manages the entire accounting, finance, and rebate team at PRIDE.  He was born in New York City and spent most of his childhood in Westfield, NJ. So, considers that home.  When not counting the PRIDE pennies, he can be found outdoors. He completed the ascent of Mount Rainier in Washington in July 2022 and hopes to build on that with some climbs in South America in the next few years. If he won the lottery, he would invest more of his time furthering environmental causes like endangered species protection, ecosystem conservation, and climate change.
