Robert A. Stalzer

Robert A. 'Rob' Stalzer is a deputy county executive for Fairfax County, overseeing the county's public works and planning departments. Stalzer was previously the Town Manager for Herndon.

Stalzer graduated from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts with a bachelor of arts in geography. He later added a master's degree in regional and city planning from the University of Oklahoma and a master's of business administration from Syracuse University.

From 1983 to 1988, Stalzer was Director of Planning and Zoning for Roanoake county, Virginia.

Stalzer came to Herndon as an assistant town manager in June 1988. He was named acting town manager on September 14, 1988, when the previous town manager, David P. Larsen, was forced to resign by Mayor Richard Thoesen and the Town Council. Two months later, on November 22, Stalzer fired Police Chief George W. Winkel when the latter refused to resign.

On June 19, 1994, Stalzer married the former Catherine M. Greblunas.

Stalzer was hired by Fairfax County as a deputy county executive on March 27, 2000, and took office on June 1 of that year.

With the appointment of Fairfax County Police Chief David M. Rohrer as a deputy county executive, the county's portfolio of public safety agencies, which had formerly been under Stalzer's purview, passed to Rohrer's control in 2012.
