Bobby Wagner is the current Mayor of Destin, Florida. He is often referred to as the "Millennial Mayor" and became one of the youngest mayors in Florida's history (and the youngest for Destin) when elected in November 2022 at age 28.
Bobby Wagner has deep roots in Destin, having moved there and attended Destin Middle School starting in 6th grade (around age 12). Originally born in New York, he has called Destin home ever since and has a strong love for the area's waters (he's often seen in a wetsuit and enjoys the ocean lifestyle).
His early passion was music—he played the trumpet, which earned him a scholarship to Troy University. After college, he returned to Destin and founded his own video production company, Land Air Sea Productions, at age 21. He has run the business for over a decade.
Wagner is also deeply involved in community and environmental efforts. He serves as the executive director (and former board member) of Trees on the Coast, an environmental nonprofit focused on tree planting and sustainability. He follows a "givers-gain" philosophy, emphasizing giving back to the community and environment for mutual benefit.
His political journey began when he attended city council meetings to advocate for initiatives like planting trees along roadways. In November 2021, he was appointed to the Destin City Council to fill a vacancy. Just a year later, he ran for and won the mayoral election, defeating opponent Rodney Braden with about 60% of the vote. He has focused on revitalizing the community, sustainable initiatives, beautification efforts, projects like a new town center on Main Street, harbor improvements, and infrastructure like fiber optic internet and Little League field overhauls.
As of 2026 (with his term ongoing), he continues to serve as mayor, hosting events like fireside chats to engage residents directly on city improvements.
