Kathleen Fischer
President
Kathy Fischer, the majority owner and President of Fischer Mechanical, grew up in a “mechanical household.” Kathy’s father was a Pipefitter who spoke often of opening his own mechanical contracting company but unfortunately never had the opportunity. Kathy now has the opportunity to complete her father’s dream alongside her son. Kathy is retired allowing her the time and financial capability to manage Fischer Mechanical.
Kathy performs the day to day operations of the business from the office. Her responsibilities include the payroll, accounts receivable, accounts payable, contracts, job costing, and cash flow. Fischer Mechanical understands the importance of a solid cash flow and Kathy’s meticulous nature allows her to keep accurate records to ensure Fischer Mechanical remains successful.
