ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Scott

WHERE I COME FROM

I am a lifelong resident of St. Charles County, Missouri. I attended Orchard Farm and City of St. Charles grade schools and graduated from Fort Zumwalt Senior High School in 1986. My interest in law enforcement began as an Explorer at the St. Peters Police Department. I will be forever grateful to all of the dispatchers and police officers who passed along their knowledge and experiences. I graduated from the St. Charles County (Eastern Mo) Police Academy. I began my law enforcement career with the Wentzville Police Department and continued my service with the City of Cottleville. In 2014, voters elected me the 51st Sheriff of St. Charles County.

My wife Amy and I, our three boys and our bloodhound, Truman, live in Cottleville, Missouri. When we are not tending to our “little farm” (chickens, bees and garden), we enjoy camping and boating especially on the scenic portion of the Mississippi River in Pool 26.
