Blair is a lifelong resident of Greene County. He recently retired from Cumberland Mine, where he was a mine worker (always on the surface) after 40+ years of service. He is the father of three (two sons and a daughter) and has three grandchildren.
He served as Mayor of Waynesburg for many years, where he helped secure federal and state funding for the Streetscape project and for other projects including the borough skate park, Waynesburg Commons and for the street and police departments. He also worked to try to obtain money for borough streets and sidewalks damaged by heavy trucks serving the natural gas drilling industry.
Zimmerman has always been active in the community. He is an avid runner and cyclist, with an interest in recreation and speaks of its importance especially in attracting new people to the county.
"I might not be able to fix everything," Zimmerman said. "But I’m the kind of person that if somebody has a problem I will always make the effort to see what it is and if there is anything I can do to help."
