Donald Griffiths for Ogden Valley City Council

Building Our Future, Together

 

For over 33 years, my wife and I have built a life together. We have been blessed with eight wonderful children and eight grandchildren, with more blessings to come! We cherish our time as a family, enjoying all this valley has to offer, from boating and skiing to biking through its beautiful landscapes. This deep connection to our community and a lifelong commitment to family are the focus of everything I do, and they are why I'm stepping forward to serve on our new city council.

As a lifelong entrepreneur and innovator, I've built successful ventures by always prioritizing my customers' needs. My most significant achievement was founding Freezing Point LLC in 2004 and launching Frazil, which grew to become a national market leader before its successful sale in 2020. This experience honed my skills in strategic planning, financial management, and bringing innovative ideas to fruition – all crucial for our new city. Beyond Frazil, I continue to create new beverage products and invest in commercial real estate, deepening my understanding of sustainable local economic development that respects our valley's character.

This year, I was honored to join the Ogden Valley transition team, contributing to the crucial work of budgeting, establishing essential services, and laying the groundwork for our new city. This process has given me an invaluable, in-depth understanding of the complex needs and opportunities ahead for our city council members and mayor. I am fortunate to have the time, experience, and bandwidth to fully dedicate myself to setting up our newly incorporated city for long-term success.

I have always believed that for me to succeed, my customers must succeed first. Applied to the city council, this means that you, the residents of Ogden Valley, are my priority. Before any decision is made, I will diligently listen to your voices and work collaboratively to achieve a shared vision for our community. A vision that carefully balances responsible growth with the preservation of our rural heritage and fosters a financially sound city for generations to come. I am committed to applying my business acumen and dedication to service to ensure our new city not only thrives but truly reflects the unique spirit of Ogden Valley.

Thank you for your support!
