My name is Mike Blackham and I have had the privilege of living within Davis County since my family moved to Bountiful in third grade. I found the love of my life in a Davis County home grown girl as well; my wife Carri is originally from West Bountiful. We choose to build our lives and raise our family within Davis County, first Farmington and then in Kaysville.

I am currently serving my second term as a Kaysville City Council Member. I had a fulfilling full time career as a Building Official where I served Kaysville City for 34 years. I also worked part-time my entire career for local fire departments. I started at Farmington Fire Department as a Firefighter and progressed to an EMT Advanced and Battalion Chief for Kaysville City Fire Department. Additionally, I have served the County by representing Kaysville City on the Davis County Mosquito Abatement District for over 20 years.

Yours truly,
Mike K Blackham
