Wimer joined Mercer-Zimmerman, Inc. in 2002 as a specification salesperson.
Wimer brings an enthusiasm and zest for working with her clients.
Upon graduating from the University of Kansas in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, Wimer began her career with Eveready/Energizer. There she dealt with electrical distributors and industrial accounts within the region. However, after joining Regent Lighting in 1996, she realized her passion for lighting. From that time, Wimer became a manufacturer's representative in the lighting industry where she has worked closely with area architects, engineers and lighting designers for numerous years. One of the most rewarding aspects of her career is seeing a person's design become a reality.
In her free time, Wimer enjoys gardening, yoga, creating jewlery, and spending time with husband Bob and dogs Dakota and Simi.
