I grew up in Thief River Falls, the youngest of three children to Clayton and Sharon Mack. I attended Knox Elementary, Franklin Middle School and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1990. After high school, I attended Worsham College of Mortuary Science, Wheeling, IL.

My wife, Rhonda, and I have two children, who are now young adults, Brandon and Alanah. We enjoy camping, hunting, fishing and watching sports. Outside of work, I am a member of St Bernard's Catholic Church, serve on the Pennington County Fair Board and a retired Thief River Falls Firefighter.

I worked in funeral service for 15 years; this is where I developed a passion for helping people. It was also during this time that I became a client of Edward Jones. Not looking for a career change, an opportunity to work for Edward Jones in 2006 changed my life path. Working in these two careers has taught me my belief that people need to save for retirement while living for today.

My branch team consists of myself and Senior Branch Office Administrator Heather Spears, who has been a part of the team since 2011. Heather is originally from Florida and moved to Minnesota in 2009. She and her husband, Leif, have two children, Brayden and Kaleigh, and a dog. She enjoys camping, boating, four wheeling and watching her kids' sports.

Together, we partner with our clients to help achieve their financial goals by organizing, growing, protecting and transferring their wealth to the next generation.
