Kathy Mercer
Staff Accountant
Kathy became fascinated with Accounting after being challenged by one of her teachers in high school to balance a paper ledger. Challenge accepted! It was then that she knew she wanted to be an Accountant; however, she knew she could face some hurdles with pursuing higher education and gaining experience having a father and husband who both served in the United States Air Force. Luckily, moving all around the US, as well as abroad, Kathy has been able to work in various areas of Accounting for over 20 years. During her off time, you can find Kathy with her husband and son in the dojo, where they are all working towards their Black Belts in karate. Of course, as a native Floridian that lives on the Gulf Coast of Mexico, she spends plenty of time paddle boarding or enjoying having her feet in the sand!
