EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
Chief Field Appraiser, Ragen Mathis
Ragen, has resided in Glades County most of his life. He moved here when he was 2 years old, then moved to Clewiston where he attended middle school, and graduated from Clewiston High School in 1988. He moved back to Moore Haven, and married Laura. They have one son, Tanner, who attended Glades County Schools his whole life, and graduated from Moore Haven High School. Tanner also graduated from the University of Central Florida with his bachelor’s degree; something dad and mom are extremely proud of! Tanner now resides in Maryville, Tennessee.
Ragen loves to hunt and fish, but it pales in comparison with his passion to help local exhibitors by breeding and raising show pigs. He and his wife Laura have been Glades County 4-H Swine leaders for many years. They also have a non-profit organization called “Sweet South Swine Classic, Inc.” which benefits our area swine exhibitors with more show and clinic opportunities. It also provides scholarships for graduating seniors and monetary awards to help area 4-H clubs.
Ragen is the President of Glades County Youth Livestock Show, Inc., an usher at the First Baptist Church of Moore Haven and enjoys helping with the youth events. He also enjoys visiting different parts of our great state and nation to view God's amazing creation. He'll tell you, though, that it’s always great to come back to Glades County, his home.
His career began in the citrus industry where he worked for 20 years. Even though he loved it, he wanted to spend more time with his son and become more involved with his sports and raising show pigs. So, he accepted employment closer to home with the Glades County Road Department. During those years, he gained vast geographical knowledge of the county which made him the perfect candidate for a vacant field appraiser position with the Glades County Property Appraiser’s Office. Larry Luckey, former Glades County Property Appraiser hired Ragen in March 2012. Ragen has worked for me for over 11 years. His overall knowledge of the appraisal process, combined with over 11 years of field appraisal experience is why he is a huge asset to my office and Glades County.
Thank you for allowing us to work for you!
