Dr. Mackercher graduated from Ponca City High School (OK) in 1964. He then graduated from Westminister College (Fulton, MO) in 1968. After that, he went to the University of MO (Columbia, MO) where he completed medical school, as well an internship and residency in Internal Medicine and a Gastroenterology Fellowship.

He became a Lt. Commander in the Navy and served 2yrs at the Navy Hospital in Great Lakes, IL. In 1974, he married Ellen Annette Cooper, and he built a 40-year medical practice in Mountain Home, AR at Baxter Regional Hospital. He served in many leadership capacities in the medical field, and served on various boards (soccer, and church). He also served on the Advisory Council of ASU in Mountain Home from 1995-2001.

Dr. Mackercher was an excellent husband, father, grandfather, friend, physician, and mentor to many. In his eyes, there was never a stupid question, only the one you were afraid to ask. His true specialty was listening.
