Mark Keam (ON 1984) Delegate Virginia General Assembly USA

Mark Keam (ON 1984) and brother Dr Jin Kim (ON 1981) have lived in Korea, Vietnam, Australia and now the United States. Both Mark and Jin have distinguished themselves in their chosen fields. 

Mark L. Keam (known as Mark Kim at Newington) represents the 35th District in the Virginia House of Delegates, which is considered to be the oldest continuous legislative body in the modern world, with roots dating back to Jamestown in 1619. In November 2009, Mark was elected to an open seat, thereby becoming the first Asian-born immigrant to serve in the Virginia General Assembly. In 2011 and 2013, voters chose to return Mark to Richmond for additional two-year terms. As a legislator with a strong reputation for bipartisanship and effectiveness, Mark focuses on creating jobs, improving schools, addressing traffic gridlocks, reducing burdens on businesses, strengthening social safety nets, and making the government more transparent, efficient, and accountable.

Dr Jin Kim ia a world renowned Dentist specialising in implant dentistry and we have him on our records as living in Fullerton, California (in Los Angeles).
