About Wilton Simpson:

Wilton lives in Trilby with his wife Kathy. Their son Wilton Jr. and his wife Caroline are practically neighbors, as are President Simpson’s daughter Lauran, her husband Kenten, and their daughters. Among his many accomplishments, President Simpson’s most esteemed title is “Papa” to his two beautiful granddaughters Addy and Emy.

Wilton Simpson is a fifth generation Floridian, proud to be born and raised in the Sunshine State. A lifelong Florida farmer and entrepreneur, Wilton has deep personal and professional roots grounded in agriculture, including a large-scale egg-laying operation that supplies eggs for Florida’s families through supermarkets across the state.

“While others bemoan the needs of their communities, Wilton Simpson steps up and pitches in. As a farmer, his land is his most precious treasure, but Wilton didn’t hesitate to share with our seniors when he saw a need. He has a heart that far exceeds what’s asked of him, and for that, we are all grateful.”

Seeing a need in the community, Wilton and Kathy worked to ensure women had the care they deserved at a time when they deserved it most. The Simpson Breast Health Center at AdventHealth Zephyrhills is led by an independent team of board-certified physicians and provides some of Florida’s most advanced technology for breast cancer with a full spectrum of breast care services.

With appreciation and a deep sense of humility, Wilton Simpson has been recognized for his advocacy, philanthropy and leadership in the community and the State Senate by Floridians in law enforcement, the agricultural and business communities, home builders and first responders to name a few. Woven into every honor and achievement, are the triumphs, tragedies & truly incredible stories of hardworking Floridians Wilton has fought for with the sincere goal of helping others achieve their American Dream.
