The family farm and rural community provides many of the experiences and events about which he has written. He was educated in the Pike County and Troy City School systems, graduating from Troy High School in 1957. Upon graduation he entered Troy State Teachers College in the fall of 1957 and graduated in the fall of 1965. Mack worked for a time in management with a firm in Columbus, Georgia, but in 1969 he left that employer for the ministry, serving as pastor in Baptist churches in Phenix City, Dothan, and Troy, Alabama. Later he would become a bi-vocational pastor and return to the world of work as a sales representative.
Mack is married to the former Gerri Herring of Smith Station, Alabama, and they have four children and nine grandchildren.
