Councilman Robert “Bob” Bird moved to Houston County in 1997 to work as an Electronics Engineer at Robins Air Force Base.  He and his family moved to Centerville in 2007.  He has been married to his wife Andrea for 22 years.  They have three children: Leo , Bennett , and Ellie .  Bob earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Materials Engineering from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 1996 and a Master’s Degree in Materials Engineering from Georgia Tech in 1999.

Councilman Bird decided to pursue a seat on the City Council because he felt it was time to give something back to the city that his family has enjoyed for the last fourteen years.  He believes that establishing an environment where small businesses can thrive is the key to keeping Centerville successful, while keeping the small-town feeling that attracts many to live here.

Bob enjoys bringing his children out to Center Park to play, and attends nearly every Food Truck Friday and Farmer’s Market there on the weekends.  In his spare time he enjoys woodworking, especially building furniture.
