Mac was in the Newspaper delivery business and delivered papers for 32 years here in Las Cruces. During this time he also owned the Emmy Water Corporation. After retiring from the Newspaper and Water business, Mac started working with KOBE as an Advertising Sales Person and with Petley Studios selling post cards and souvenirs. He then opened Chew Agency where Mac and his wife Pat owned and operated it for many years, selling post cards and souvenirs as well. Mac was a member of the Central Assembly of God Church, and was also a member of the Masonic Tularosa Lodge receiving his 50 year pin in 2006.
