SCOTT ATHMER’S BACKGROUND
After serving 3 years in the US Army, he began his career in Law Enforcement. He earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees while also working full time for the Highland Police Department. His career in law enforcement has provided him the opportunity to serve as a Patrolman, Detective, and Sergeant. He has also spent over 15 years with the Major Case Squad of Greater St. Louis and the Child Death Investigation Task Force, serving both as an investigator and Deputy Commander with each organization.
Scott obtained his real estate license in 2018 while preparing for his retirement from law enforcement. He transitioned quickly, putting his years of experience in public service and negotiation to work in real estate and became a top producer for Trophy Properties and Auction in 2020 and 2024.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Scott grew up in Southern Illinois, and his work ethic, hunting, and farming background go back to his childhood. He spent countless hours with his friends and family hunting the Carlyle Lake area, chasing anything that was in season at the time. His dedication to chasing mature whitetails eventually won out. He has assisted several landowners with setting up their properties to attract and improve their deer population.
Recreational farms are not his only passion. He worked on his uncle’s farm growing up, milked cows in high school, and worked with his father-in-law farming after returning home from the Army. He understands the farming industry and has a passion for serving families and farmers in their desires for their property and business. Scott’s family ties to agriculture, his love of the outdoors, and his passion for farms and farmers seems to be a quality he is passing on to the next generation as his son, Josh, is continuing his education in agriculture at the University of Illinois with plans to pursue a degree in large animal veterinary science.
When he is not working, Scott enjoys hunting and spending time outdoors on their family property. The best days are spent there with his mom and dad, his wife, Heather, and his children, Abby and Josh. He is very active in his community and serves as the range safety officer for the Highland High School Trap Team.
