By Nicholas Frank Sanzone | Tourism Director


I am an avid waterman and advocate for environmental science education, sitting on multiple boards in and beyond Brevard County to better serve the community.


I am thrilled to be part of the Sebastian River Area Chamber and this community where I am meeting great new people and teaming up to enhance the quality of life in Sebastian by promiting all this area has to offer.

Hello, It's nice to meet you.


Its my favorite time of year!


I am Nicholas Frank Sanzone, and I am thrilled to be your new Tourism Director. I was born in Brevard County at Holmes Regional Hospital in 1984.After growing up in Brevard County along the lagoon, I went to school at the University of Florida and graduated with a degree in Soil and Water Science in 2010.


I worked on the lagoon as an eco-tour narrator before being selected to intern with the Nature Conservancy at the Blowing Rocks preserve in Jupiter Florida. I continued to intern through the Student Conservation Association with the National Parks in Jacksonville and in Biscayne National Park until 2013. Then I started work with the Marine Resources Council and after three years with the MRC I went to work for the City of Satellite Beach as their first Environmental Programs Coordinator.


After six and a half years with the city I have joined you as a staff member of the Sebastian River Area Chamber.


My deepest thanks to everyone for the warm welcome!
