Candidate's Statement

Derek Chipoletti is a native of Northeast Florida. He comes from a family of multi-generational educators in the area:

  •  Grandfather, Robbie Robertson – retired teacher; Stillwell Junior High in Jacksonville, FL     
  •  Father, Neal Chipoletti - retired teacher; Orange Park High School, Fleming Island High School,   Bradford High School
  • Mother, Jody Chipoletti – retired paraprofessional; W.E. Cherry Elementary
  • Son, Hunter Chipoletti – current teacher; East Laurens High School in Dublin, GA
  • 3 other extended family members currently work in Clay County Schools

Derek has been a resident of Clay County, FL since 1992. He graduated from Orange Park High School in 1995, where he played football and baseball. He was granted an athletic scholarship to play football at University of Central Florida, where he attended from 1996 to 1997. Returning to Northeast Florida, Derek graduated from the University of North Florida with a B.S. degree in Social Science Education.

In 2001, he embarked on a teaching and coaching career that lasted 15 years, taking him all over North Central and Northeast Florida. Coaching and teaching experience in the classroom and on the fields of various high schools exposed him to diverse communities and the individuals in them. Whether in urban, rural, or suburban settings, Derek has been an effective teacher and excellent football coach.

As a lifetime learner looking for a new challenge, Derek decided to leave education to enter the financial service industry in 2016. Currently, he is a Financial Advisor with Capital Financial Strategies.

Derek is inspired daily by his wife of 13 years, the former Chrystal Mitchell. Chrystal was born and raised in Green Cove Springs and graduated from Clay High School in 1996. She is a registered nurse with the Baptist Medical System. Together they raised 2 sons, Austin (27) and Hunter (21), and a 10-year-old daughter, Harper. Austin is in the agricultural business and currently lives in Wyoming with his wife, Cheyenne, and two daughters, Maizey and Hallie. Hunter is a public school teacher and football coach at East Laurens High School in Dublin, Georgia. Harper is active in choir, gymnastics, and volleyball. Derek, Chrystal, and Harper live in Fleming Island and are active members of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Fleming Island.
