The Honorable Wayne M. Messam
Mayor, City of Miramar

Mayor Wayne Messam has lived in Miramar for over 15 years. A first-generation American, Wayne was the first of his parents’ children born in the United States. He was raised in South Bay, Florida by loving and hard-working Jamaican parents. Growing up in the Glades, Wayne learned the values of hard work, discipline and the pride of culture, community and heritage. Miramar’s cultural diversity and sense of community attracted Wayne to the City of Miramar to raise his own family.

Mayor Messam is no stranger to leadership and success. As senior class president in high school, he was offered full athletic and academic scholarships to Florida State University. He excelled both on and off the football field and was elected to student body vice-president by his peers during his senior year. One of his greatest highlights was when the FSU Black Alumni Association named him “Student of the Year” for his exceptional accomplishments as a student-athlete. He graduated from Florida State University with a bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems.

Licensed as a General Contractor and a LEED-Accredited Professional, Mayor Messam is a prominent young professional in the construction industry. His company, Asset Builders, is currently building and managing some of the most exciting “green” construction projects in America.

Mayor Messam has always had a commitment to public service; he was elected to the City of Miramar Commission in March of 2011. He currently serves on boards or committees of many organizations, where he has been very influential in policy recommendations affecting local and small business programs. He also served as past vice-chair of the Miramar’s Planning and Zoning Board.
