MEET THE TEAM
Mary Louise Choate
OWNER
Mary Louise took a leap of faith and moved to Birmingham, Ala. shortly after graduating from the University of Florida with a business administration degree.
Growing up in Orlando, Fla. her father instilled in her his strong business ethic, along with his engineering aptitude of learning how to make things work. She translated that into a full-time career in the plumbing industry where she has thrived for over 20 years. The opportunity arose for her to purchase Kenny & Company in the fall of 2015 and that is when Fixtures & Finishes was born.
She resides in Mountain Brook with her husband and daughter where they enjoy spending time with their neighbors and friends in the community. She is a sustainer of the Junior League of Birmingham and an active member of Dawson Memorial Baptist church.
