Travis Williams Sr.

Travis Williams is a proud native of Jacksonville, FL, where he resides with his wife and their children. Currently, Travis is co-lead and COO for LIFT JAX, an initiative of leading business, philanthropic, and community leaders working to revitalize the urban core and eradicate generational poverty in Jacksonville. This work is accomplished through strategic investments in projects ranging from redeveloping a neighborhood grocery store and facilitating mixed-income infill housing strategies to spearheading business corridor development and improving infrastructure of parks and greens spaces. This work is currently focused in the Historic Eastside — a neighborhood his family has called home for nearly 100 years. Travis brings his previous success in the private, public, and entrepreneurial sectors to this role. Travis strives to be a true community servant of Jacksonville through local board work and volunteering, primarily in areas focused on economic development, urban revitalization, and services benefiting the less privileged.
