Brian R. Hersh, Miami, for appellant.

Before BARKDULL, C.J., and HAVERFIELD and NATHAN, JJ.
This is an interlocutory appeal by defendant contesting an order denying his motion to dismiss the complaint as to him for insufficiency of service of process and lack of jurisdiction over his person.
On June 21, 1974, Kendall Jeweler's & Galleries, Inc. executed and delivered a $6,000 promissory note to the Southeast Bank of Dadeland. The note was signed by appellant Abraham Feldman as vice president of Kendall Jeweler's and personally endorsed by him. In addition, appellant and Jerome Klein executed and delivered to Southeast Bank personal guarantees of the promissory note. In September, Kendall Jeweler's delivered a renewal of the promissory note, which was again signed by appellant as vice president. Kendall Jeweler's failed to pay the note and renewal when due on December 18, and the Southeast Bank filed suit against Kendall Jeweler's, Klein and the appellant who is a resident of California. Personal service on the appellant was effected by mailing a summons and a copy of the complaint to a California sheriff who personally served the appellant at his California residence. Appellant moved to dismiss the complaint as to him for insufficiency of service of process and lack of jurisdiction over his person. The motion was denied and defendant appeals.
We find that § 48.193(1)(g), Fla.Stat., F.S.A. 1 is dispositive of this appeal inasmuch as appellant personally executed the contract of guaranty in Florida and breached it by failing to pay the Southeast Bank pursuant to the terms of the guaranty.
The order denying appellant's motion to dismiss is affirmed.
