Biography

A familiar face, Susan Mercer returned to the men’s basketball program in 2005. She spent 11 years as the staff assistant from 1989-2000, and it is as if she never left her post. Among her duties are managing various athlete and alumni databases, organizing files and invoices, answering the phones and making hotel and meal arrangements for the team and coaches. “Susan ties it all together,” said former head coach Bob McKillop. “Her bright smile and friendly voice signals a warm welcome to all who come into contact with the Davidson basketball program.” Mercer joined the Davidson athletics department as basketball staff assistant in 1989. She previously worked for Reeves Brothers in Cornelius, and for two years as a sales representative for First Union National Bank in Davidson. In between her stints on staff, she worked from home for an adoption agency. Mercer placed 25 Romanian children in North Carolina homes. Mercer graduated in 1982 from North Mecklenburg High. She resides in Mooresville and has four children — Buddy, Caitlin, Christopher and Lydia.
