Zehringer is a graduate of Fort Recovery High School, and still resides in Fort Recovery today. A former owner of a poultry and fish farm, Zehringer has made a career out of agriculture. While in elected office, much of his agenda focused greatly on agricultural efforts, and for a time, he served as ranking minority member of the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. With Republicans winning the gubernatorial election in 2010, Zehringer was chosen to lead the Department of Agriculture by John Kasich. In 2011 John Kasich appointed Zehringer to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
