ERIKA WEXLER
Co-Founder + Experience Curator
From a young age, I've been passionate about exploring new places and connecting people through shared experiences. At 20, I traveled extensively and spent a year in Spain, where I became fluent in Spanish and immersed myself in the rich cultural rhythms of the language. It was during this time that I met Will. Together, we backpacked through Costa Rica, falling deeply in love with Latin America. This experience planted the seeds for a long-term vision: to someday be a meaningful part of the region.
Over the years, we've explored opportunities to establish roots in Latin communities. In El Salvador we found our calling: Club Cocal is the culmination of nearly 25 years of dreams, learning, and growth. As a lifelong learner, my path has been shaped by an insatiable curiosity and a commitment to understanding both myself and the diverse world around me. This journey has led me to explore many fields professionally, yet one constant has remained: my dedication to authenticity and service. These values have been the foundation of everything I do.
At Club Cocal, I focus on curating events that not only cater to your specific needs but also foster unforgettable experiences that will become cherished memories. My approach is intentional and collaborative, working alongside you to bring your vision to life. I believe the synergy between Club Cocal and our guests is real and look forward to welcoming you to your new happy place! Contact Erika
PAUL PENDERGRASS
Real Estate Advisor
Paul Pendergrass is in El Salvador combining the personal and professional lessons and successes he has experienced since birth in South Texas. Raised in El Paso, Texas, and being the son of a Mexican mother, the Latin culture is in his blood, and it eased the decision to move to El Salvador during this very special time.
At Texas Christian University, Paul majored in finance w/ a real estate emphasis and minored in energy tech & management, leading to 10+ years of experience in the real estate industry. Working at various real estate companies around Texas, and investing in residential properties in DFW and commercial properties around Texas and Florida, Paul has gained valuable insight and knowledge that has helped him navigate and transition into the rapidly evolving El Salvador market.
A shift of the global consciousness in 2020 resulted in Paul turning his focus onto health and international sovereignty. After a few years of travel and research, coinciding with El Salvador making the turnaround of the century, Paul became a Salvadoran resident at the end of last year. By the Grace of God, the vision of an international real estate company has morphed with a beachfront property HQ and community space, and he couldn’t be more elated for what’s to come. Contact Paul
