| Info | Although he was born in Nashville, Tennessee, Mayor Don Trotter has deep Montgomery County roots. His family includes many who reside in the Southside community of the county. He came to Clarksville in 1966 to attend Austin Peay State University and has been here ever since, except for a two-year period of service to his country in the United States Army, where he was stationed in Germany during the Viet Nam war.
Mayor Trotter holds both Bachelors and Masters Degrees in History from Austin Peay State University. Upon completion of his education at Austin Peay, Mayor Trotter began preparing himself for his life in public service. He was a schoolteacher at Burt School and New Providence Junior High School. Mayor Trotter desired to learn about law enforcement and state government, which led to jobs with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Tennessee Department of Safety. He left state government service and started his own successful insurance business in Clarksville, and from there he became the City of Clarksville's youngest Mayor in 1986 at the age of 38.
During his years in public service, Mayor Trotter has continued to be active in the community as a member of numerous local and statewide organizations. He is, among other memberships, a life member of the Clarksville and Tennessee Jaycees, and a member of the Clarksville Civitan Club. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Tennessee Municipal League, where he was president in 1994.
Mayor Don Trotter has been married to Patsy Trotter for 34 years. They are parents of two children and the proud grandparents of one grandchild. They are members of First Presbyterian Church in Clarksville.
