Each member of the Epting Events team is crucial to our planning process and unique in their own way. In fact, would you believe that one of our in-house accountants is skilled in the art of karate?! Meet Cat Warner, an avid outdoorswoman and a beloved member of our team at Epting Events. This inspiring woman even competed in The Battle of Chattanooga, where she sparred with other trained karate experts. Additionally, in 2010 Cat completed the Eric Shanteau Swim For Your Life race, an open swim in Lake Lanier for a total distance of about one mile! Cat also recently purchased her first canoe and enjoys hiking in her spare time.
Cat is “truly a product of the Southeast,” spending portions of her life in several different states, including South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. Cat fell in love with the new emerging field of software and computers while working in Tennessee during the 80’s. For Software sales and support perfectly married her love of numbers, passion for solving problems and desire to learn different businesses. She also enjoyed the fact that she was able to meet new people almost daily.
After Tennessee, Cat made her way to Alabama alongside her husband, Tom, and her daughter. During her time there, Cat served as the Accounting Department Coordinator for a large privately-held manufacturing firm. Her first order of business? Standardizing accounting software at more than 20 different corporations! Needless to say, Cat is one smart cookie. “[It] sounds really boring to most, but I loved it,” she explains.
In 2008, Cat became a resident of The Classic City. And a year later, she walked through the front doors of Epting Events and never looked back– we recently celebrated her fifth anniversary!
Triple chocolate chip cookies, the pool on a warm summer day, hot coffee and, of course, Epting Events’ famous cheese biscuits are among some of Cat’s favorite things. On the other hand, drivers who forget to use turn signals along with the final days of summer typically send Cat into a bit of a tizzy. All in all, we are so proud to have such an accomplished and adventurous woman as a member of our team and are so excited that you were each given a chance to meet her!
