Carlos D. Nazario, Jr. - Vice President

Mr. Nazario is the Vice President at Sweet Mango Hospitality Corp. and sees this partnership as an opportunity to show and tell people in minority communities that they can succeed. This partnership also enables him to provide employment opportunities for people in minority neighborhoods. His 17 years in Central Florida have been single-mindedly focused on helping his community.

After graduating from St. Francis College in Brooklyn with a BS degree in business management, Mr. Nazario spent the next ten years learning all phases of the beer and beverage distribution business. In 1990, he purchased, renovated, computerized and moved Metro into a modern 20,000 square foot facility serving the beverage needs of the small independent retailers and general public. He was also founder and President of Palms on the Beach Ltd (“Palms”). Palms was a food service corporation established to service one of the largest public beaches in the City of New York.

Palms operated this concession venue for a period of six years and did not renew its contract.
