Thanks for visiting. I'm Mr. Bizzozzaro. I was born in New Jersey but raised here in Florida. I am a proud product of the Flagler County School System. I attended Indian Trails K-8 for elementary and middle school. Afterwards, I attended Flagler Palm Coast High School where I participated in S.G.A, Young Politicians (Brief startup group) and Varsity Wrestling where I led as Captain for two years and fortunate to be 2X All State. I am a proud recipient of the Crystal Award of Excellence and Kiwanis International FPC Senior of the Month among other honors.

​

           Following High School, I enlisted in the United States Navy where I served a little under 5 years. I deployed 3 times in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom with the U.S.S Harry S. Truman and U.S.S. Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Groups. I served on a Ticonderoga Guided Missile Cruiser out of Naval Station Mayport (Florida). My rate was an Operations Specialist (Warfare Navigation and Radar) Fortunately for me, I was able to tour the world and meet such a diverse group of people from which I learned life long lessons.
 

            After the United States Navy, I remained in Jacksonville, FL where I worked full time in the financial industry as a Credit Recovery Specialist, Training Supervisor and Operations Supervisor. While working full time, I attended Florida State College of Jacksonville, graduating with an Associates with Honors. Following, I attended the University of North Florida (Go Ospreys!) which I took an active role as a member on the Inaugural Student Government Association's Presidential Council of Veteran Affairs. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and a minor in American History. While doing so, I've also volunteered for various Presidential and Congressional Campaigns. As of 2023, I completed my graduate degree in Educational Leadership at Stetson University.

​

          Thankfully, I have made my way back to Flagler County where I was blessed to have the opportunity to be a full time educator, fulfilling one of my deepest passions of teaching the young minds of tomorrow in something I love.
