Early life and education
Zoeller is a native of New Albany, Indiana. He is a graduate of Our Lady of Providence Catholic High School. He also graduated from the Indiana University Maurer School of Law. He studied as an undergraduate at Purdue University and Indiana University, and holds "dual citizenship" as both a Boilermaker and an IU Hoosier.
Legal career
With a focus on consumer protection and public health and safety, Zoeller created and serves as co-chair of Indiana's Prescription Drug Task Force, is a member of the Commission on Improving the Status of Children in Indiana, supports the expansion of School Resource Officers, and serves as the National Association of Attorneys General Tobacco Committee Co-Chair. Other accomplishments as Attorney General include enhanced privacy protections for Hoosiers through expansion of the Do Not Call law to include cell phones, and providing for parents to obtain credit freezes on behalf of their minor children to protect them from identity theft.
On September 9, 2014 Zoeller appealed the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage in Indiana. Zoeller also filed amicus briefs for other states. This was marked by controversy, and while a few upcoming voters for the 2016 elections in Indiana criticized his decision, the vast majority supported him.
Prior to state government, Zoeller spent ten years as an executive assistant to Dan Quayle - first in Senator Quayle's U.S. Senate office, and then in the Office of the Vice President of the United States. He also served in other government capacities and was in private practice for 10 years before joining the Attorney General's Office in 2001, serving as Chief Deputy until 2008.
Zoeller earned his law degree from the Indiana University School of Law at Bloomington in 1982.
