Upon graduation from high school in 1976, Ratterman earned a business administration degree from Sacramento State University in 1981. By 1982, he was working in the insurance industry with an independent adjusting firm, and he continued on that career path for the next 22 years. In 2004, Ratterman took a job with Farmers Insurance Co., and has since retired.
