Mac Joined the Hancock Homes family in 2018. Mac's first experience with carpentry was renovating the house he bought with his brother in 2012. Mac's step-father, Barrett, a lifelong carpenter, helped show him the basics.

When faced with the opportunity to turn a side job as a graphic designer into a career in the IT field, Mac had a moment of reckoning, and instead followed his heart to Hancock Homes.
Outside of work, Mac and his partner, Hayley, enjoy gardening, home improvements, and spending time with their 2 kids.

Buddy is really your first point of contact at the Hancock Homes office! If he's not hooked and sleeping under Dean's desk, he will often greet you at the top of the stairs...he has a fierce bark but his tail will be wagging and he will have a toy in his mouth ready to play with whoever enters.
