Before his stint on ‘MAFS’, the 34-year-old Nashville native worked as a director of operations. According to the show’s official press release, “Mack recently moved to Nashville to pursue new career opportunities and found himself with the best opportunity of all, finding a wife.

He finds comfort in the idea that with their help and guidance, he can finally break down the barrier he's created and find the love he deserves. On the show, he will be marrying 25-year-old associate sales broker Domynique, who the experts have matched him up with.
