Mark Lamb is best known as Americas Sheriff, but it wasn’t always the case. After being a business owner for over a decade, he joined the world of Law enforcement in his thirties and has thrived as a leader in his field from day one. Valedictorian of his training class, Rookie of the Year, Officer of the year, Detective of the year, and now Sheriff of Pinal County, he has always risen to every challenge in his path. As Sheriff he oversees a county the size of Connecticut, with over 600 employees and a 55 million dollar budget.
Born and raised until age 11 in Hilo, Hawaii and then Manila, Phillipines, as well as Panama S.A. and a two year LDS mission in Argentina, the experience living abroad has given him a deep appreciation for America. He graduated high school in Chandler AZ, and currently resides in Arizona, where he was elected in 2016 and is currently serving as Pinal County’s 24th Sheriff. He lives in San Tan Valley with his wife of 28 years, as the father of five incredible young adults and grandpa to Brody and Elaine, which is his all time favorite role.
His empowering leadership style, western attire, and huge smile have set him apart from his peers and his no nonsense approach to law enforcement has made him a beacon of hope to many in his county and all over the world. You will see him often on various news interviews, podcasts, and articles, in an effort to bring awareness and resolution to our nationwide border invasion, Phentanyl poisoning epidemic, and human trafficking crisis.
With an attitude of “Fear Not, Do Right” and common sense approach, his patriotism is as infectious as his positive attitude.
