| Info | Born and raised in Sidney, Ratermann graduated from Lehman Catholic. Immediately following high school, he enlisted the United States Marine Corps, where he served as both a combat engineer and as a Marine embassy guard.
Ratermann left the Marine Corps to attend college. After earning a law degree from George Mason University, he served his country another 14 years as an attorney in the Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps – including a year in Yugoslavia, another in the Middle East and an additional year in Afghanistan.
Ratermann also served as the Group Judge Advocate to the 1st Special Forces Group. He was also the legal advisor to a Joint Special Operations Task Force.
After more than 22 years of military service and 30 years of travel throughout all 50 states and more than 50 other countries, Ratermann returned to west central Ohio so that his children could grow up learning the values and principles which he found specific to the region of the 85th House District.
In addition to his serving as a city councilmember, Ratermann also teaches American Government at Edison State Community College. He has also spent the past three summers as a seasonal National Park Ranger, this past year earning the National Parks Travelers Club Flat Hat Award.
Ratermann is pro-life, pro Second Amendment and supports a fairer system of taxation. He is also a proponent of limited government. He believes that his experience working with people from various cultures and nationalities around the world, often in hostile situations, will help him work effectively in Columbus.
