Frank Territo started his college career at St. Petersburg College, a full-time student who was also working full-time as a technician for Firemaster, a fire suppression system and equipment franchise based in Clearwater, FL.
He soon graduated from Pasco-Hernando Community College with a 4.0 grade point average and was recognized as PHCC’s “Honor Graduate,” a designation given to the student with the highest grade point average in the graduating class.
In 2009, Territo launched his own small business. Three years later, he has been able to see how his business studies, particularly in the areas of accounts receivable and accounts payable, play out in the real world.
After transferring to USF, he immersed himself in the USF community without allowing his focus on academics to wane: he currently has a 3.99 grade point average.
Territo is president of Tau Sigma National Honor Society at USF (an organization for transfer students) and leads the USF Council of Honor Societies. He is a member of the Council of Transfer Advocates and currently serves as a teaching assistant for Business Statistics II.
Last summer, Territo served as an intern with Ballast Point Ventures. He was responsible for providing a steady supply of prospective companies for investment review by the partners at the firm, gathering accurate data about prospective companies, and making recommendations based on Ballast Point Venture’s investment criteria.

There’s not enough time in a video for me to say why I think Frank is the most remarkable. From the second you meet him you can tell right away that he’s an unbelievable person with such a big heart, an over achiever that never gives up, the friend everyone wants to have and the boyfriend that never seems to surprise me with all the amazing things he has to offer. I love you so much and I am so proud of you. You deserve everything that comes your way! ❤
I’m so proud of you Frank! We’ve spent a lot of time together as statistics II teaching assistants, and I couldn’t be more proud to be one. As a group, I have excelled my own person to fit into our impressive dynamic, and I always strive to meet up to it. You have been a great influence on my motivation, and the choices that I have made with my future career. I appreciate all of the advice that you have ever given me, and can only hope that the impression we have made on each other and students will carry forward into the future. You well deserve this award, and I am so grateful to have you as a co-worker.
