As the General Manager of K9 Club, Troy, Mary Hansen combines her business experience and love for animals to successfully perform her duties. Especially important to her is the health and safety of each pet placed in her care at K9 Club.
Before joining the pet care industry, Mary worked in the technology industry, holding roles as Programmer, Project Manager and I.T. Director. She attended Hutchison College and Wichita State University and has a degree in Computer Science.
Mary’s passion for life is evident in the many sports and activities in which she participates, including running, cycling, mountain climbing, kayaking, playing the guitar, regularly attending Zingerman’s cooking classes and of course spending lots of time outdoors with her three Entlebucher Mountain dogs, whom she affectionately calls her “boys”. She is even a certified wine sommelier!
