District 4 - Rob Williamson

Commissioner Rob Williamson is a Florida native, growing up in the small town of Seminole, located near the Gulf beaches of the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. He has called Santa Rosa County home since relocating to Navarre with his wife Amie in 2003. Their family now includes daughter, Annabelle and son, Hilton. Together, they are active members of Gulf Breeze United Methodist Church.

Williamson is the first in his family to earn a college degree (from his beloved Florida State University) and the first to serve in public office. In fact, being selected to serve as District 4 Commissioner on Nov. 18, 2014, fulfilled Williamson's lifelong dream of public service. He strives to serve the people of Santa Rosa County well with a focus on faith, listening, hard work and integrity.
