Mizer also served two years as an assistant wrestling coach at Buena Vista University in Iowa. As an assistant coach for the Beavers, he was essential to all aspects of the program as he was involved in recruiting, coordinating, organizing and executing practice plans, arranging team travel, assisting in fundraising, and reviewing match film with student-athletes.

While at Buena Vista, Mizer coached a national qualifier, as well as three Academic All-Americans.

Mizer is a 2010 graduate of Heidelberg University, where he graduated with a B.S. in History. During his time at Heidelberg, Mizer competed on the wrestling team, where he was a four-year letterwinner and a three-time national qualifier. He finished as NCAA runner-up in 2010.
