  • Erik Chase

    Sales Professional

  I graduated cum laude from East Texas Baptist University with a Bachelor's Degree in Speech Communications and a Minor in Marketing. My favorite life motto is It's not the cards that you have been dealt, but rather how you play the hand as well as It's not how you start in life that matters, it's how you finish-and I choose to finish strong. Prior to working for SouthPoint Hyundai, I worked in the fine jewelry industry for seven years, and some might even say that I'm a diamond in the rough, but then again a diamond is a piece of coal that hung in there!! Last year, I was voted as Mr. Personality of 2010 for San Marcos, Tx and I'm also known as Kyle's Biggest Loser for being a once 415lb. man and shedding over 135lbs after my inspiration stemming from trying out for the NBC hit show The Biggest Loser. It has been through those experiences that has taught me to remember that life begins when you start living, and that there is no mountain that you can't reach the peak of!! I'm an East Texas Native, but I have made Austin my home with a dedication to Train, Motivate, and Inspire. I'm sure to be a great fit in my new home here at SouthPoint Hyundai!!
