Loyd “Rob” Roberson
Loyd B. (Rob) Roberson II was born in Greenville Mississippi, in 1968 to Patricia and Loyd Roberson, and shortly afterwards, they moved to Starkville, MS. Rob graduated from Starkville High School in 1987 and then enrolled in Mississippi State University. While attending Mississippi State, Rob worked at Piggly Wiggly and was later employed at Sullivan's Office Supply.
Rob graduated from Mississippi State in 1991, earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Rob was the first of his family's generation to receive a four-year bachelor’s degree. He served in the US Air National Guard (1987-1993) and credits this as a crucial part of his education by using the G. V. Sonny Montgomery G.I Bill to help defray his school tuition. While in the US Air National Guard, Rob was awarded "Airman of the Month" for his quick thinking in saving an individual's life.
Rob married the love of his life, college sweetheart formerly known as Karen Shurden in 1991. Karen earned a degree in Physical Therapy and is the proud owner of Kid's Spot Therapy Clinic located in Starkville. Rob and Karen share (4) beautiful children, namely Kelly, Marley, Jack, and Eli.

Since returning home, Rob has served his community and state on several levels, from serving on the Starkville Board of Aldermen to the Mississippi House of Representatives. While serving in the House of Representatives, he co-authored a bill giving Mississippi veteran's access to the "Purple Heart Car Tag." This Bill established the “Purple Heart” car tag at no cost to the veteran, for those Mississippi veterans who wish to obtain one. This case is very near and dear to his heart since his father earned both a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart for his service to his country during the Vietnam War. Rob has been instrumental with the support of funding several projects, in Starkville. To name a few, impeding road repairs, also a huge supporter of Economic Developments and continual management to improve future Public School Projects.
