Welcome to the Parmasters South Central Region!

The South Central team is excited about the challenge of developing the ten states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.

Strategically located in Memphis, TN, the day-to-day operations will be lead by Mario Bertagna. 

Mario’s career began as a personnel manager for a national retail department store and quickly evolved into a store manager position.  After running the family business interests in retail liquor, real estate management and grocery industries for a number of years, Mario held management positions with several local companies. His duties included managing a three state sales territory, researching and marketing new products and services as well as business development and strategic planning.  Always up for a challenge, Mario co-founded The Memphis Italian Festival in 1990 and has nurtured this event into a fun-filled annual event attended by over 75,000 people for the two-day event.

Mike Allen, an inactive CPA, adds expertise and depth to the team by drawing on his background of 7+ years experience of Big 8 (now Big 4) public accounting experience and his 19+ years experience in the capital markets. Mike is known by his peers as a dedicated team player that relishes the challenges of new product development.  Over the past 19+ years, Mike has started and / or managed five of the six fixed income securities trading desks at  arguably the largest fixed income securities player off Wall Street.

Mario and Mike share the Parmasters vision and are dedicated to “make it happen.” A love of the game is a driving force behind their sincere belief Parmasters will make the great game of golf even better for all those involved. 

The following is a list of potential exclusive territories within the South Central Region, organized by state.  These territories are based on a combination of golf course concentration and National Golf Foundation research.  Please take a moment to see what’s available in your area.

Assuming you like what you see on our website, jot down your questions and give us a call to set up a time for a on-line conference call meeting.  We will schedule a 30 to 45 minute call with the main purpose being answering your questions.  This meeting is considered “Stage 2” of the 6 Stage Approval Process for a new Parmasters Franchise Owner.
