MEET MY FAMILY

Jo and his wife, Mackenzie, met while in college in 2009

Although being from rival in-state universities (GT vs. UGA) had its challenges (especially on Saturdays), they married in the fall of 2011 and moved to Woodstock, GA. It was here where they started to put down some roots and began to start a family. Jo and Mackenzie have two children, Emerson and Jackson, and now live in Canton, GA, in a home they built in 2018.

The combination of Emerson and Jackson (EmJack) is where the name of the company originated from and is reflective of the family culture that Emjack & Co sustains. Jo and Mackenzie are committed to their family and believe that the success of the individual is directly related to the work-life balance and spending time with loved ones.
