He's so original

By Belinda Hulin Kevin Mayer Is a 21st century renaissance man
Computer maven by day, club owner by
night--Kevin Mayer's got it all covered. The Midwest-born,
globe-trotting SAP systems consultant has lived in Brazil,
Ireland, Puerto Rico, Barbados and Greece. He speaks English,
Spanish and Portuguese and never met a foreign assignment
he didn't like. But he's showing signs of settling
in Jacksonville. "I've never owned a thing in
my life and I bought a condo at The Plaza at Berkman Place," he says. "I'm committed to making this a success." 'This' is Endo Exo, the ultra-hot San Marco nightclub he owns with
a friend from his country-hopping days. Mayer came to the
River City to take an SAP consulting gig with the Duval County
School Board and contacted his friend, who had invested in
a club. The next thing Mayer knew, he was configuring software
by day and booking music acts by night. "We attract
older people who know how to dress for a night out and who
want to enjoy themselves," he says. "This isn't
a teeny-bopper club."
Best thing about wearing a skirt? "The freedom a skirt allows and the amazing looks you receive. Who knows what they're thinking? At first it's uncomfortable [the looks], but then you think, who cares?" Best thing about reading Skirt!? "The magazine is laid out very well and the writing is very trendy--a lot like our club Endo Exo." Skirt! Jacksonville. August 2004. |
