Mayor Schlum is currently serving his second term as Mayor of the Town of Fountain Hills. Before becoming Mayor, he was – and still remains – very active in the Fountain Hills community. He served four years as a Councilmember before becoming Mayor, and prior to that he served four years as a Commissioner on the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mayor Schlum currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council and on the Regional Council of the Maricopa Association of Governments. He is a member of the Urban Land Institute and the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce. He volunteers his time with youth sports groups, as a school mentor, and for Home Delivered Meals.
He has served in the past as PTO Vice President for Four Peaks Elementary School on the Advisory Committee for the Boys and Girls Club of Fountain Hills. As an avid supporter of the theater, Mayor Schlum has both volunteered in the Community Theater and performed in Li'l Abner.
Mayor Schlum has called Fountain Hills home since his parents moved from Michigan in 1977. At that time there was no nearby high schools, so he attended Coronado High School in Scottsdale. After graduation he attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, where he studied Business Management and Public Speaking.
Mayor Schlum and his wife Denise have two children.
