After attending the University of Kansas, Mark was hired by IBM as an Account Executive.  While he liked the technology field, he soon went to work on the Listed Equities desk at Eppler, Guerin, and Turner.  As he gained experience and eventually became the Manager of the desk, he found that coordinating ‘chaos’ into a workable trade by considering all the variables in the market was his greatest strength.

With his father, and founder of American Micro Company, Ted Zecy close to retirement, Mark moved to Kansas City to run American Micro.  Using his problem solving skills to organize ‘chaos’ which helps any company automate a process is what Mark likes doing. This passion translates well to Document Imaging Solutions which are simply records that need to be managed, with several different variables in the mix.

Mark is proud that American Micro has evolved to serve the needs of customers since the company’s founding in 1958.  From the early days of backfile capture to today’s business process automation, the company has been in the forefront of their industry. Using front end capture of images and metadata to help information flow through the organization more efficiently is Mark’s goal for each customer.  He tells his employees that coming up with a solution is the fun part and watching it help our customers for years is a great feeling of accomplishment.

When Mark is not solving business process problems, he enjoys the ‘reset’ his farm offers.  He feels that doing things with your hands and seeing the results is always gratifying.  Traveling the backroads of America is also how Mark likes to spend his time with his wife Karen.

After graduation from Baylor University with a BS in Computer Science, Karen was hired by Arthur Andersen as a consultant. She moved into a role in software support and implementation at Management Science America and eventually joined American Micro after moving from Texas to Kansas City.

Karen is now President of American Micro and is responsible for overseeing the financial health of the organization as well as operations. She is passionate about the service American Micro provides because it allows customers to operate more efficiently and reduce unnecessary staffing expenses.

Outside of her daily responsibilities on the job, Karen is actively involved in the community. She is currently serving as board member at Truman Medical Center and their Executive Committee; board member for the MAX Insurance Company; and as Board Chair for Reconciliation Services Social Venture where the goal is to find jobs for those in the KCMO Troost corridor neighborhood.

In 2006, Karen was recognized by the Kansas City Business Journal as a “Women Who Means Business” honoree.

When she is not working, Karen always has an earbud in to listen to an Audible book.  She also enjoys riding her bike, walking, yoga and travel with Mark and their grown children John and Andrea.
