CCWD Division 1 Director Scott Ratterman grew up in Calaveras County, attending San Andreas Elementary and Calaveras High School. 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 he is currently employed there.

Outside of work, Ratterman is an active member of the St. Andrews Catholic Church in San Andreas, and is a member of the Knights of Columbus. He was also on the Calaveras Community Foundation Board from 2005 to 2012, serving as vice president for two years and chairing several committees. He also belongs to the La Contenta Men’s Club.
