Mack has executed a dozen successful projects, including directing the 250,000 square-foot Hyatt House in Charleston, along with the 50-story Sovereign Condominiums in Atlanta, made up of residential, retail and office space. Mack is one of the founders of Circle of Trust Real Estate Network and served as a Board Member and Membership Chair of Rebuilding Together Atlanta.

Since 2005, Dexter has supervised the construction processes for large community projects across the Southern U.S., including a $20 million addition to Atlantic Station, one of Atlanta's top upscale shopping areas, and the execution of Drewery Place in Houston, Texas, a $110 million, 372-unit multifamily high-rise development. Dexter is an avid believer in bettering his community, with over eight years of volunteer service with Houston organizations including the Houston Food Bank and Rebuilding Together Houston.
