Hi I'm Nic Mac
I grew up in Cerritos, CA. I was an athlete in football, track and Martial Arts. I'm in the military. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I was always the fastest kid growing up. I established a bunch of CA state records in track and football growing up. I was a dj and was recruited to play football for BYU in the mid 90's. I am currently working on my Masters while working Full Time as an IT Tech for the Federal Government and am also a reservist in the Minnesota National Guard. I spend most of my free time developing my daughter's athletic skills in basketball, boxing and volleyball. My wife and I volunteer often in our community and I am a proud parent of a missionary. My oldest son is currently serving in the Fresno, CA Mission Spanish speaking.
Why I am a Mormon
In the mid 90's I signed on to play football at BYU. I never once took seriously anything any Mormon in Utah would tell me about the church. I left the school never knowing much about the religion. Sometime later, I met a girl who became my best friend while I was stationed in the FT Army in Alaska. Through the course of our friendship in the Last Frontier, we found out we had quite a few things in common. The first being, we were both Los Angeles natives. I also told her I played football for BYU and she told me she was an inactive Mormon. After a few years, we got married and we both decided that it was time for our blended family to become a "real family". I was baptized Aug 2006, we were sealed as a family Oct 2007 and we now have a son serving a mission in Fresno, CA and a nephew we helped raised serving at the same time in Atlanta, GA.
How I live my faith
We study our scriptures more so now that we have our son and nephew out in the field. My wife and I have basically shunned by our own parents and really have very little extended family to rely on for emotional support, so it has become almost a blessing in a way to form a close bond with each other and completely rely on the Spirit to guide our home. We pray together nightly as a family and we COMMUNICATE. Something I didn't have in my own home growing up.
