Pete Williams: Mayor, Urban Planner, and Advocate for Riverside’s Growth & Regional Collaboration
Pete Williams, the fourth Mayor of Riverside, Ohio, has been leading his hometown with a bold vision since 2019. Re-elected in 2023 for a second term, Pete brings over 20 years of experience in Urban Planning and Economic Development to the role, blending community values with strategic innovation.
A proud Dayton native raised in the Belmont neighborhood, Pete is a graduate of Archbishop Carroll High School, Sinclair Community College, and the University of Dayton, where he earned both a Political Science degree and a Master’s in Public Administration. Today, he also serves as Director of Advancement at Carroll High School, helping lead the very institution that shaped him.
Pete’s leadership extends far beyond Riverside’s borders. He has served on influential boards including Dayton Defense, the Wright-Patterson Community Partnership Initiative, JobsOhio West, and Welcome Dayton’s County-Wide Expansion Initiative. In 2024, he was named to the inaugural class of the Regional Aerospace and Defense Awards, adding to a long list of accolades including Top 40 Under 40 from the Dayton Business Journal.
At the heart of Pete’s work is a deep commitment to family and community. He and his wife Becca are raising their three sons in Riverside, actively engaged in St. Helen School and Parish. Pete’s story is one of homegrown leadership, public service, and regional impact—and in this episode of IMAGiNE FiTTiNG IN, we explore how local leadership shapes national influence.
