Clark County Fire District 3 has appointed Scott Anders to replace retired board commissioner Buck Heidrick.
Heidrick retired July 9, and the board picked Anders on Aug. 8. He took his oath of office Aug. 13.
Anders is a real estate, creditors and business attorney at Vancouver law firm Jordan Ramis, PC, where he’s worked since 2009.
The district said Anders was born in northern Virginia, and he went to junior and senior high school in Southern California.
He graduated from the University of Oregon in 1984, and moved to Washington, D.C., after a year working in retail for a job at the U.S. Department of Justice.
He started law school at American University in 1986, transferred to Lewis and Clark College’s law school in 1987, where he finished an evening program while working full-time.
After passing the bar, he worked at the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office for about 11 years, and was appointed to a district court judgeship bench in 2001. He left the bench in 2005 for an executive position at a financial company.
Anders and his wife, Colleen, have lived in the Hockinson area for 23 years. They have one daughter, Samantha, who now lives in Boston.
