About Council President Sims

Council President Sims was born in 1966 in Anchorage, Alaska. He has lived in the Hilliard area since 1972 and, in addition to serving as the Council President, Council President Sims works for Okefenokee Electric. A cool fact about Council President Sims is his 8th great grandfather was Patrick Henry, one of America's Founding Fathers, who is famous for the quote "Give me Liberty, or Give me Death!" - How neat! His favorite hobby is anything to do with old cars, mostly old mustangs. Council President Sims is passionate about family and old fords. 

Council President Sims was elected to the Town Council in November of 2004 and has served on the Town Council since January of 2005. His favorite thing about living in Hilliard is, though the demographics are rapidly changing, growing up everyone knew everyone and most were friends. He became a Council Member to help Hilliard grow in a positive way and help maintain the "Hilliard" feel. Before he leaves the Council, he hopes to follow through on his goal of maintaining a small town environment and keeping Hilliard an affordable place to live. One piece of advice Council President Sims has for young people growing up in a small town is to "get to know your neighbor, as many neighbors as possible. Be a friend to as many as you can; what starts small, grows big".
