Mark Lee Keam (born May 10, 1966) is a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in the United States. A Democrat, he has represented the 35th District since 2010. His district encompasses a portion of Fairfax County, including the town of Vienna, Virginia, where he resides.
He was born in Seoul, South Korea and has lived in Vietnam, Australia and California, at different times of his life. He was formerly an aide on Capitol Hill, and was an executive with Verizon Communications until he left in 2009 to run for the Virginia General Assembly.
Keam was born to a Presbyterian minister in Seoul, South Korea, in 1966. His family later founded a church in Vietnam, before fleeing when the country fell to Communism in 1975. After arriving in Australia, Keam and his brother attended Newington College while their father was founding pastor of the Korean parish of the Uniting Church in Australia at Strathfield, New South Wales. The family eventually settled in Orange County, California. To help support his family, he worked odd jobs, from construction to collecting shopping carts from a retail parking lot. He received a Political Science degree from the University of California at Irvine and later earned a law degree from Hastings College of the Law.
