FRIENDS OF SFA:


WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Mac Wilson and Nick Weaver


In 2015, we met Mac Wilson and Nick Weaver at our National Stuttering Awareness Week Gala at the Lotos Club in New York City. Our event focused on entrepreneurialism, where both spoke with guests about the career paths each have pursued, along with the obstacles they each faced to gain employment. We caught up with each to see how their careers have progressed since we first spoke seven years ago.


MAC WILSON


After we met Mac, he moved to Charlotte, NC, got married in 2017 to his wife Lindsay, and got started in the home-building business as a project manager. “I wanted to learn the ins and outs of the business and learning how to build a house from the ground up, with the hope of branching out on my own in the future,” he added. His first project was his own house, which involved tearing down an existing home to build from scratch.


After a couple of years as a project manager learning the trade, Mac founded Commonwealth Custom Homes earlier this year, buying land in Lancaster, South Carolina, where he plans to build “spec houses” in the near future.


But his attention these days is on building his family. As we go to print with this article, he and Lindsay are expecting the arrival of their first child in the next few weeks. “I’m terrified but excited,” he said. And we’re very excited for you, Mac!
