He previously served as chief administrative officer and assistant chief executive officer for KAMO, a power generation and transmission firm in Vinita. He is one of the founders of Tulsa-based First Trinity Life Insurance Company.

"I'm honored Governor Fallin has selected me to serve in her cabinet and I look forward to working with her to protect and enhance Oklahoma's environment," Sherrer said.

Sherrer obtained a bachelor's degree from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant. He volunteered for military service and served as a combat medic during the Vietnam War.

Sherrer and his wife Judith live in Stillwater with their daughter Connor.
