Meet Michael
Hello, Simi Valley! My name is Michael Shaw, and I am excited to announce my candidacy for City Mayor. After a fulfilling career as the owner of a successful elevator company and an active member of our community, I am ready to bring my dedication and experience to City Hall. I want to bring an honest change to our City Governance, fostering in transparency, integrity, and accountability, while utilizing a common sense approach.
Career and Achievements: My career has been enriched by several achievements, including owning operating a Union elevator company in Simi Valley, purchasing and operating Archery Sports USA, Inc, as well as owning and leasing both commercial and residential properties in our City. My responsibilities have spanned marketing, sales, account management, strategic planning, and team building.
Personal Life and Community Involvement: On a personal note I am a very active guy. I enjoy daily hiking or mountain biking in our local mountains, along with golfing, snow skiing, surfing, and cheering on the Dodgers.
I am passionate about mentoring at-risk youths by promoting continued education, respect for all, patience, hard work, community service, and a substance-free lifestyle.
I stay busy with my 3 grandsons ages 13, 11, & 9, with their school and sports activities.
All of this reflects my personality and commitment to our community's betterment. Together we can not only help keep Simi Valley a great place to live, we can work to make it even better.
Thank you for your support.
