Matt Mercer
Operations Manager
Quad CitiesAs the Operations Manager here at TPC, I oversee the daily operations of our offices. This may include employees, processes, and business plans. I also assist in any administrative or operational tasks to better assist our Planners and Clients.
After graduating from St. Ambrose University with my B.A. in Theatre, I spent ten years working in Operations with multiple companies here in the Quad Cities Area. I am fortunate enough that these experiences have brought me to The Planning Center to work along some of the best this industry has to offer. My goal is to help build the best infrastructure possible so we can continue giving unparalleled service to our clients.
“Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” [Teddy Roosevelt]
In my free time, I choose to stay as busy as humanly possible. I find relationships with family and friends to be some of the most rewarding time I spend, so I choose to maximize that as much as I can. Outside of that, I stay busy with many different outdoor activities, but also by spending time at my church. I spend time singing every Sunday morning that I’m available, and assisting with youth group on Sunday nights. After moving around the Southern US while growing up, I have found an outstanding home here in the Quad Cities and am thrilled to be a part of this wonderful community!
