On June 12, 2001, Mike Fahey was sworn in as the 49th Mayor of
Omaha, Nebraska.
Although Fahey has always been active in Omaha politics and community
affairs, running for the mayor's office was his first time as a
political candidate. After a successful career as an
entrepreneur and businessman, Fahey viewed public service as an
opportunity to give back to the City of Omaha.
In 1978, Fahey started a small title insurance business, American Land
Title Company. He sold American Land Title in 1990, but remained
at the company serving as CEO and helped guide the growth and
direction of the title company, as it became one of the nation's
largest. He retired from the company in 1997. Creating a
company and running a small business gave him invaluable experience,
and, as a business executive, he managed large budgets, met payroll,
and created hundreds of jobs.
Throughout the years, Fahey served in a variety of community
leadership positions including the boards of Holy Name Housing, The
American Red Cross Heartland Chapter, and Creighton Prep High School.
For ten years starting in 1981, Fahey served on the Omaha Planning
Board and served as chairman for many of those years.
Fahey graduated from Creighton University in 1973 with a Bachelor of
Arts degree. While Mike Fahey is honored to serve the citizens
of Omaha as Mayor, his most rewarding job is his role of father.
He has four grown children - three sons and a daughter.
