Mike Gay

Mike Gay and his wife, Maleana, are Jacksonville, Florida natives who have three children and live on the Northside. Mike grew up playing little league baseball and football for the YMCA. He played football for Andrew Jackson High, earned his Eagle Scout badge, and graduated with the class of 1982. He then went on to play football for Georgia Southwestern University.

Mike followed in his father’s footsteps by enrolling in the electrical apprenticeship program with Northeast Florida Builders Association. Upon completing this program, he obtained his State of Florida Electrical Contractor’s Certification. Mike’s goal was to combine his love of sports with his trade by lighting stadiums and ballparks. With a strong work ethic and determination, Mike’s goal became a reality when he started his business, M. Gay Constructors.

Today, M. Gay Constructors has crews that perform work throughout multiple states in the southern United States. M. Gay Constructors’ work can be observed all over the City of Jacksonville, including the TIAA Stadium, Jacksonville Jaguars indoor and outdoor practice fields, Veterans Memorial Arena, Jumbo Shrimp Stadium, University of North Florida track and soccer stadium, and Jacksonville University’s ball fields.

Mike is a devout Christian whose generous nature and work experience have allowed him to volunteer overseas. He helped build churches and schools in Guatemala, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Argentina. Through Mission of Mercy, Mike helped fund orphanages and feeding programs in Calcutta, India, and Cambodia. He also has visited and helped fund Christian Works in Thailand, Hanoi, Saigon, Vietnam, and Seoul, Korea. Back home in Jacksonville, he was heavily involved with Inner City Missions.

As a councilman, Mike brings a unique level of expertise acquired over 33 years from working with city councils and numerous municipalities throughout the states of Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Mike has mastered effective budgeting and project management. He also holds the following licenses/certifications: General Contractor; Electrical Contractor; Underground Utilities; Crane operator; CDL.

As a proven successful business owner and father, Mike isn’t looking for a career change. As a council member, Mike will fight to protect small businesses, taxpayers and stop further financing our children’s futures by cutting habitual overspending and waste.
