Mattamy Homes, Adina Construction Come Through For Allen D. Nease High School in St. Johns County, Donates Materials for New Sidewalk
JACKSONVILLE - When Allen D. Nease High School officials learned they needed a new sidewalk for their athletic program and lacked the funds to build it, they turned to the Jacksonville division of Mattamy Homes U.S. Group, the U.S. arm of Canada’s largest home builder.
Mattamy Homes is known for its civic and community work and ranks as one Jacksonville-area home builder whose sales have been strong enough to support a little charity.
Jerry Dean, vice president of construction at Mattamy Homes in Jacksonville, immediately telephoned Adina Construction, Inc., the St. Augustine concrete contractor that provides foundations, driveways, sidewalks and hardscapes in many Mattamy communities in the region.
The result? Together, Mattamy Homes and Adina Construction pooled the concrete and labor to build the sidewalk. Allen D. Nease High School officials and athletes are very grateful that Mattamy Homes and Adina Construction were able to step up to help out the school.
“We aren’t expecting a marching band or even a school cheer,” Dean joked. “We were happy to do our little part for our community,” he said.

Ron Schwartz Sells Interest in Park Plaza Gardens Restaurant & Cafe
WINTER PARK, Fla. - Winter Park entrepreneur Ron Schwartz has sold his interest in the award-winning Park Plaza Gardens Restaurant & Café in downtown Winter Park to restaurant partner Mary Demetree.
Schwartz, who acquired his interest in the fine dining restaurant sidewalk café and bar in 2002, guided the landmark facility through major renovations and repositioning as one of the region’s best-known restaurants.
As operating partner, Schwartz developed and expanded sidewalk dining, introduced a contemporary fusion menu influenced by Asian, Middle Eastern and continental cuisine; expanded the restaurant’s accommodations outside the formal garden fine dining room; introduced a trendy martini menu and live entertainment to the sidewalk café, established a region-wide e-mail marketing and social network program, and instituted a server training program that included extended tours of California wineries.
Schwartz’s iconic improvements paid off---last year, Park Plaza Gardens Restaurant & Café reported food and beverage sales in excess of $3 million.
Under Schwartz’ leadership, Park Plaza Gardens has given back to the community donating to many charitable organizations in Central Florida including the Council of 101, Hospice of the Comforter, Special Olympics, Morningstar School, Menello Museum and Boys Town.
Schwartz helped to shape the new political landscape in Winter Park encouraging business development, the closing of Park Avenue for special events, and free valet parking for Park Avenue visitors.
“We have developed a loyal following and I’m sure our friends and neighbors will continue to patronize the restaurant and bar,” said Schwartz.

Rollins College Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship, CEO Nexus to Host Forum for CEOs on growing established local companies to next level
Rollins College Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship, CEO Nexus to Host Forum for CEOs on growing established local companies to next level
Full Sail University CEO Ed Haddock is Guest Speaker at invitation-only event
WINTER PARK, Fla. - The Rollins College Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship in collaboration with CEO Nexus will host the CEO Nexus Forum, part of a program series that brings together leaders of established, second-stage businesses to meet and learn from CEOs who have successfully grown their companies into a more advanced stage of business development.
Cari Coats, newly appointed executive director at the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship, said Ed Haddock, co-chairman and chief executive officer of Full Sail University, will be the guest speaker at the invitation only event that begins at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 9 in the Crummer Graduate School of Business Bush Executive Center.
The business community and Rollins are embracing and helping to lead the “economic gardening” strategy fostered by CEO Nexus that growing our own local companies is a vital part of job creation.
Providing an opportunity for mentoring the CEOs of often underserved second-stage businesses is a priority not only for the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship but for the CEOs of successful third and fourth-stage companies who realize the need to invest time in a confidential setting to advise and share growth strategies.
Haddock, along with his two partners and a talented team of executives built Full Sail University into one of the largest and most innovative entertainment, media and arts universities in the world. From the start of Haddock’s involvement in 1991, the school has grown from 300 to 7,700 students and the campus has grown to 190 acres with 801,000 square feet of studios, sound stages, media development and other support facilities.
Haddock and partners also expanded Full Sail’s post-secondary education portfolio to include The Los Angeles Film School, The Los Angeles Recording School and Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design.
Additionally, in 1973 Haddock was a founding partner, serving as chairman and managing partner of the law firm, Swann and Haddock, P.A., which by 1990 became one of Florida’s preeminent law firms. During the 1970s and 1980s Haddock was also a founding principal of financial institutions, insurance underwriting companies, homebuilding companies and real estate developments.
The Sept. 9 Forum is another in a series of events designed for second-stage CEOs and supported by the Rollins College Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship, University of Central Florida’s Office of Research and Commercialization and the Florida High Tech Corridor, said Steve Quello, president of CEO Nexus.
“These events will all focus on ways companies can accelerate their growth and development in these challenging economic times,” Quello explained.
