REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAMS was elected in a special election in 2009 to represent House District 6 in Madison County. He was born and raised on a small farm in Alabama, graduated from The University of Alabama in Huntsville with a degree in International Business, and speaks fluent French.

Representative Williams has been involved with the development of small businesses for most of his career through recruiting economic and industrial development to Alabama.

After working with contracts negotiations in the Small Business and Contracts offices as a Contract Specialist with the U.S. Army, Phil co-founded several businesses:

• 3D Research Corporation
• Synapse Wireless, and
• Soldier 1 Corporation

Representative Williams' volunteer activities include:

• serving as a Director of the Alabama Archives Board for Alabama History
• mentoring, without pay, to small businesses in the Huntsville area
• serving as an active board member of Huntsville’s Heritage Foundation
• participating in the Madison County/Huntsville Leadership Program, including fund raising so that any “at-risk” young person in Madison County would have the fees to prepare for and take the GED test.

Phil and his wife, Lisa, live in Huntsville with their son.
