Robert has spent more than four decades building and leading businesses across the floral, event, agriculture, and hospitality industries.
His career began in 1984 at his family's farm in Apopka, Florida. He later moved into supermarket floral sales and became President of Continental Artistry, an Orlando-based event décor company serving destination management companies and major hospitality venues. During that time, he helped secure contracts with Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin and Caribe Royale as those properties were establishing themselves in the Central Florida market.
Robert's career also includes extensive international experience throughout Latin America. He owned floral farming and export operations in Ecuador and managed a sustainability investment fund supporting floral and vegetable operations in Colombia, Mexico, and Ecuador.
He later served as CEO of Organic Style and Organic Bouquet, a San Francisco-based floral and gifting company with operations across six cities, three states, and two continents.
Following the pandemic, Robert founded Florida Fresh Events and led its evolution from a floral import and wholesale company into a vertically integrated hospitality platform. Today, the company provides floral design, event décor, custom fabrication, luxury rentals, living plants, retail gifting, logistics, and full event production for many of Central Florida's leading resorts and theme parks.

Living plants and palms are grown and maintained on our own property, so your greenery is healthy, full, and ready for the spotlight — at any scale, from a single accent to a full ballroom transformation.
From a first sketch to a finished, hand-painted feature, our shop designs and builds one-of-a-kind props, bars, walls, and themed facades. If you can imagine it, we can make it real.
Statement centerpieces, ceremony arches, and grand lobby arrangements are designed and assembled by our team — tailored to your palette, venue, and vision.
Box trucks, refrigerated transport, and cargo vans sized from a single ballroom to a full property — a dedicated fleet, wrapped in our name, staged at our own yard. No day-of rentals, no third-party couriers, so your load-in window is ours to hold.
We're trusted by the top theme parks, resorts, and DMCs in Central Florida — bringing the logistics, fleet, and our own greenhouse-grown inventory to deliver flawlessly, on time, every time.
Work With Us
Design, growing, fabrication, delivery, and on-site install — handled by one team.
Our own fleet and greenhouse operation mean dependable timing for events of any size.
Great communication and finishing touches that make a lasting impression on guests.
Studios in Lake Buena Vista, Winter Garden, and North Orlando mean our entire operation is 5–10 minutes from almost anywhere in Central Florida. When a client asks for the impossible — a last-minute swap, two hundred more centerpieces, a redesign the morning of — our team, fleet, and greenhouse are already close enough to make it happen.
Whether you're a planner, DMC, or hosting your own celebration — we'd love to hear about your event.
