Amber Morton-McCarty is the Finance Coordinator at Morton Solar. She was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky but moved to Evansville with my family when I was a toddler. Amber went to school at Murray State University and studied Veterinary Medicine and Marketing.
What Amber likes most about solar is that it is completely customizable according to your needs. You could have a small system that only powers the essentials or a large system that powers everything. And now that the prices of solar have come down tremendously over the past few years, it is something that can fit every budget. Not to mention all of the incredible environmental benefits.
Some fun facts about Amber are: She and her husband are expecting their first child, she has three small dogs that currently control their lives, and she owns a lawncare business while also working her separate full-time job. Always on the move!
