Chef Joe Abston, owner of Hopjacks Pizza Kitchen & Taproom and The Tin Cow, oversees the culinary direction of Pot Roast & Pinot and Edible Invaders. A Pensacola Tate High School graduate homegrown chef learned the right way. Chef Abston started his culinary training at PJC before graduating from the culinary elite Johnson and Wales University, building the foundation for his epicurean adventure.  Humbly Joe applied his education working around the world diversifying his culinary portfolio in such great places as the Ritz-Carlton and Le Bec Fin. Starting in 2008 Joe focused his energies in the downtown Pensacola area – a then small foodie scene. One of the earlier downtown revitalization pioneers, Joe was pivotal on the growth of the downtown area, and continues to further the downtown scene advocating for Gallery Night and chairing the up & coming Palafox Wine Walk. Chef Abston isn’t done yet with more exciting concepts early in the planning stages.

Annie Dike / Author-Preneur

Have Wind Will Travel

 

 

I was a lawyer until I quit. Six years in the practice taught me two very important things — 1) I love to write (while it was motions, briefs, and arguments then, I still knew I had uncovered my passion in the written word), but 2) I don’t like to do it in an office. Something told me I needed to get away, to travel, to sail, to live a different day every day and write about all of it. I now write full-time and spend the majority of my days cruising our 35-foot Niagara sailboat around Florida’s west coast, the ongoing adventures of which I chronicle on my sailing blog, www.havewindwilltravel.com, and sailing books available on Amazon. I hope you lose yourself in my stories, find yourself in my characters and relish every page. I will keep writing and sailing regardless. It beats the practice at least. Enjoy!

Amazon Author Page — http://www.amazon.com/Annie-Dike/e/B00T25NBVO

Curious about cruising?  Come aboard!  I write to share the stories and I film to share the journey with you. Sign up to follow via the blog, YouTube or Facebook and get videos, blogs and books on cruising, kite-surfing, silks and every adventure in between. If you enjoy the journey, check out my books on Amazon, show some love with a weekly donation through Patreon or just share it with others and let us know. We love to hear from followers and send them free cool stuff. Email or message me on Facebook. Get inspired. Get on board.

Robert Delaney / Versailles Event Center

Owner

 

 

 

The Versailles operation will be managed by Randy Delaney who brings 33 years of experience in managing private country clubs in Charlotte, N.C., Atlanta, GA., and Pensacola, FL. Randy began his hospitality journey as a Pubic Relations professional on board the M.S. Starward Cruise Ship, one of the fleet of Norwegian-Caribbean lines out of Miami, FL. He lived on board the ship and traveled the Caribbean each week. His primary function was to engage as many passengers as possible on that week’s cruise and ensure that his new manifest of 600 passengers was pleased with all of the services provided by the cruise ship.
 
 Randy received his degree in English & British Literature from the University of North Carolina – Charlotte in 1979, and worked his way through college as a server and bartender at Charlotte Country Club. Upon graduation he took a job as a sports writer with the Charlotte Observer, but never lost his passion for the unique challenges of managing the lofty expectations of the private country club set. He held his first management position as the Food & Beverage Director at Myers Park Country Club in Charlotte in 1982 and it was the beginning of his long and rewarding hospitality career. In addition to his degree at the University of N.C., Randy has completed programs at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., the Greystone Culinary Institute in California, and completed a Business Management Institute Masters Program at Cornell University in New York.
 
Randy’s military career included Paratrooper Training in Fort Benning, GA., where he received his Silver Wings in 1971, and Special Forces Training at Fort Bragg, N.C.. where he was awarded the Green Beret in 1972. This elite training set the tone for his long-standing drive to succeed in every endeavor. He expects great things from his staff and greater things from himself.

Rafi Perez and Klee Angelie / Rafi Was Here Studios, LLC

Owners / Artists

About Rafi Was Here Studios

Rafi Was Here Studios is the creative playground for Award Winning Contemporary Artist Rafi Perez and Jewelry Designer Extraordinaire Klee Angelie. The Studio began business in early 2012 bringing art and jewelry to the awesome people of Pensacola FL, and expanding internationally since.

Although Rafi and Klee have been creating art their whole lives it wasn’t until 2012 that they made it available to the public. They have been nonstop ever since.

Forged in the fiery hot sun of the open road, the bitter cold of Chicago snowstorms and the sticky wild swamplands of the Florida Everglades, Rafi Was Here Studios brings its contemporary brand of Art and Jewelry to delight and amaze you. Not to mention, Rafi and Klee are pretty awesome and easy to get along with.

 

 

 

A Little About Rafi Perez

Rafi is an award winning contemporary artist who creates emotionally charged works. He is best known for his use of texture and bold color palates in striking pieces that each has a story to tell.

Rafi is a self taught artist who spent years refining his own techniques and creating a style that is all his own.

He has a unique ability to absorb colors and emotions in a very abstract way and is somehow able to translate it into the high energy fine art for which he is known.

“He is driven to communicate visual qualities of perhaps the external environment which offers us freedom and inspiration as we cope with awesome focal points in the vast open space surrounding our existence. He attempts to show the internal passion of human sensuality that brings quality to our senses stimulating and extending our consciousness elevating life as individuals or sharing space with others around us. Ultimately Rafi seems to convey simple sophistication and intellectual freedom as he uses the visual language to express the human potential.” – Spiros Zachos (PO10TIAL Magazine)

Rafi’s work can be found in myriad of public and private art collections both in the United States and abroad, He currently lives and works in Pensacola, Florida.

 

Jewelry Artist Klee Angelie

Klee Angelie is a fine jewelry artist who creates original signature pieces that have a story and a history to reveal. Using old world techniques and a loving, nurturing approach to the creative process, her pieces posses a rawness and an energy that make them truly unique to her.

The work has been described as contemporary naturalist and wearable micro sculpture.

Coming from a musical background and a passion for harmony and rhythm, Klee has tapped into these themes and translated them into her jewelry creations. The result are pieces that are not only beautiful but have a flow and life about them that is palpable.

Klee was born and raised in Illinois, right outside of Chicago and devoted the majority of her time to music and creative arts in her area.

The hustle and bustle and the energy of the city, coupled with her passion for being creative lent itself to her unique contemporary but organic and original style.

Klee now resides and works out of her studio in Pensacola Fl. Her work can be seen at local markets and galleries and at charitable events which she supports. Her pieces are also available to the worldwide market via her online store.

Danny Mortimer and Joel Freeman / Card Payment Solutions, LLC

Danny Mortimer is an honest to goodness bona fide Panhandle local; born at the NAS Hospital and raised right here in Pensacola.  He has over 35 years’ experience coast-to-coast in outside sales, sales management, and business ownership.

 

In 1981 he was recruited into the life insurance industry and soon added to his portfolio a number of securities licenses with the SEC as well as certified financial advisor.  He grew his financial practice to well over 100 agents before transitioning into the wireless communication industry from 1998 – 2003 where as a broker he focused primarily on wireless solutions for businesses.

 

From 2003 – 2007 he was quite successful in the trade show industry.  As part owner of a company manufacturing portable modular tradeshow equipment and producing high resolution digital graphics, Danny set up distribution networks throughout the world but primarily in North America.  He grew this company well over 300% in just 3 years by developing solid reseller relationships with several of the largest franchise companies in the world such as Sign-A-Rama, FastSigns, Signs Now, and Allegra just to name a few.

 

In 2008 he came full circle back to the financial industry, this time in the bank card segment as a merchant processing broker.  His financial and sales management experience uniquely qualified him to help build a successful team for Card Payment Solutions along with his own residual portfolio of merchant clientele here locally and throughout the Southeast.

 

Danny was blessed to marry his Woodham High School sweetheart, Angela Bills. They currently call the Greenville area of South Carolina their home but can’t seem to stay away from the Panhandle.  A growing clientele and agent base here along with their family, kids, and grandchild keep them coming back at least every other month or so.

 

Card Payment Solutions is a leading provider of credit card processing, merchant accounts, and shopping carts for small and medium sized merchants located across the United States. Our payment processing services enable merchants to process both traditional card-present, or “swipe” transactions, as well as “card-not-present” transactions. Our management’s experience and cumulative knowledge in providing payment processing services to merchants give us the ability to effectively identify, evaluate and manage the payment processing needs and risks that are unique to small business.

THRIVE by Le-Vel is something that’s hard to explain, and challenging to describe… it’s something that can only be experienced.

brand philosophy

Premium Level: Premium Lifestyle

Le-Vel was created and envisioned with a greater purpose, a premium plan. This plan is not to create a product, or a product line, but to build a global brand, a new icon. A brand that encompasses ultra premium products: premium product lines. The new brand, for the better lifestyle, premium-seeking consumers.

The largest and most successful companies in the world are extremely good at one thing. They build brands, not products. They are so good at this one focus, they can literally put their logo on anything and it is passionately accepted worldwide. As the Le-Vel vision is birthed with THRIVE, it will continue on with all of our brands and future premium products. Le-Vel will be a global giant; our logo will be on many different products, wherever you go, our logo will go with you. The quality, passion and efficacy with one product line, will flawlessly continue on to all product lines, because the true focus, our passion will always remain at its inception, The Brand: Le-Vel.

To build the Premium Lifestyle Company, we knew we had to look further than just a product, we had to envision a larger purpose, a deeper reason for what we were doing. We had to create the one and only Premium Lifestyle Brand.

Jason Camper and Paul Gravette share a vision for premium products that offer an opportunity to live a premium lifestyle.

With over 41 years of combined experience in the Health & Wellness industry, Jason and Paul’s vision was to create a company, a brand, a product line that had never been seen before. Their commitment and passion to Premium Grade raw ingredients and using a higher level of nutrition to formulate Thrive was the key to Le-Vel’s success from the beginning.

Candys Hess is a Training Consultant with eight years of experience working for industry-leading companies.  She’s a strategic and innovative thinker with strong attention to detail and excellent relational skills.

After earning her Master’s Degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology, Candys worked for Baptist Health Care’s (BHC’s) People Development Team where she focused on leadership development, new hire orientation, and the organization’s culture, which led to many opportunities to deliver training.  During her tenure at BHC, Candys’ team was awarded Training Magazine’s Top 125 Award five times, moving up in rank from #80 to #25.  At Warren Averett, Candys managed the learning needs for five Gulf Coast offices.  She’s implemented programs to increase trainee interaction, improve the organization’s culture, and measure training ROI.

Andrew Martin / Atlas Financial Strategies

President / Owner

Our mission has always been, and will continue to be, to strive to provide our clients with the very best financial service available as well as a client experience that is second to none. We understand that our recommendations will impact you and your family for years to come. Therefore, we are very careful to make certain that the plan we suggest is suitable to you and fits your objectives.

Being a leader in the financial services industry means continually striving for improvement. To keep pace with clients’ needs, Atlas Financial Strategies has access to new products, expanded quality service, and pioneered new technologies. Breaking new ground is part of the tradition. For Strength and Guidance, trust Atlas Financial Strategies.

 

Atlas Financial Strategies, LLC provides Insurance and financial services to both small and large businesses, alike. From employee benefits to succession planning, our goal is to keep you as a business owner focused on one thing: running the business. Atlas Financial Strategies, LLC offers:

  • Retirement plan administration including 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), Simple IRA, and SEP IRA
  • Group benefits including Life, Health, Dental, Vision, and Disability insurance
  • Key Person insurance
  • Buy/Sell agreements
  • Voluntary payroll deducted life insurance*
  • Executive carve-out plans

Executive Benefits

The success of most businesses is tied into the talent, passion and work ethics of their key executives. Executive benefit packages can help you attract, motivate, and retain high-caliber employees and keep your company healthy and stable. We can help you with non-qualified plans, supplemental employee retirement plans, split dollar plans, and more.

Succession Planning

Succession planning allows owners to leave their business on their own timeframe while preparing their company to be transferred to family members, key employees, an outside party, or even a charity. This must be done in a way that achieves personal financial security, maintains harmony, and achieves maximum value for the business.

Key Person Insurance

Key person life insurance offers a death benefit that indemnifies an employer for the loss of one of its most important assets – the key person. This can help assure continuity of the business for employees, customers and creditors, and protects against losses in sales, momentum, and credit. It can also be used to recruit and develop a replacement for the employee.

Buy-Sell Agreements

A buy–sell agreement is a legally binding agreement between co-owners of a business that governs the situation if a co-owner dies or leaves the business, whether by force or by choice. A funded cross-purchase buy-sell plan utilizes life insurance to ensure that the arrangement is properly funded so that there will be money when the event is triggered.

Deferred Compensation

Deferred compensation is a written agreement between an employer and an employee where the employee chooses to have part of his or her compensation withheld by the company, invested on their behalf, and distributed back to them at a pre-determined point in the future. Deferred compensation can be used as a flexible way to attract and incentivize key employees.

Whether you have already decided on a program of study or are still considering your options, you will find that our college has award-winning faculty and staff who place as their highest priority promoting student academic and career success. Research tells us that students who transfer to other institutions after completing their work at Pensacola State College do as well as, and often better than, students who begin their studies at a university.  Additionally, our career program graduates consistently find success in their fields.

Our faculty places the highest priority on student success. In fact, student success is our central theme on all campuses and in all departments from Student Services to Financial Aid to the Pensacola State College Foundation Universal Scholarship fund. Tutors are available in most subjects, and students with documented disabilities may arrange for support services. Smaller class sizes offer faculty the opportunity to provide a level of personalized instruction that cannot be found at larger institutions.   At Pensacola State, we keep our tuition low and our values high because we believe financial need should never keep someone from receiving a quality education and the promise of a bright future.

Pensacola State College ranks in the top one hundred in the nation in the number of associate degrees awarded.  Our college is continuously building a stronger Pensacola region by recognizing and responding to the needs of the people we serve. Our corporate and professional training, adult and secondary education programs, technical and career programs, university transfer associate degrees, bachelor degree programs, and community outreach are examples of our commitment to offering award-winning comprehensive programs and services to the communities we serve.

Pensacola State’s dedication to our community’s needs is also evident in the expansion of our physical presence in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties.  Our South Santa Rosa Center as well as our Century Center opened in January, 2012. In addition, continuous expansion of Pensacola State College’s eLearning options makes many of our superb educational offerings available worldwide.

Making the decision to attend college is a big step for students of any age, but it is a great step in the right direction. Pensacola State College’s educational experiences will set the groundwork for your future. We invite you to visit one of our campuses or explore your opportunities on our website. Our faculty and staff look forward to helping you achieve your educational goals at Pensacola State College.

Sincerely,

Edward Meadows

President
