Cathy Gatewood

Cathy Gatewood is a lifelong community supporter, proud wife, mom, and “Tigi,” who also happens to be a dedicated Enrolled Agent and the principal of Gallagher Gatewood, a professional accountancy corporation based in California’s Central Valley.

Born in Hawaiʻi and raised in Livermore, Cathy has called the Central Valley home since 1989. Alongside her career in tax and accounting, she’s always found time to give back—whether it's serving as Board Treasurer for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Stanislaus County, volunteering through Modesto Rotary, or helping out at her children’s schools and sports events over the years.

Cathy and her husband Dean have been married for over 40 years. They’ve raised three wonderful children and now cherish time with their four amazing grandchildren. These days, some of her favorite moments are spent with family on their 10 acres in Escalon, where life slows down and the best memories are made.

When she’s not crunching numbers or hosting loved ones, Cathy channels her creative side into planning nonprofit fundraisers, blending her love of community, organization, and a good gathering into events that make a difference.
