Hey y’all! My name is Mackenzie, but my friends call me Mac. I’m a Fort Smith native, and graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2019. I grew up getting outside as often as possible and many of my fondest memories have been made in Devil’s Den campgrounds with my dad as a kid or hiking the Ozark Highlands Trail with my best friends, calling the Hogs in Bud Walton Arena, and getting slung off the tube on Lake Ouachita.

I currently live in Washington, D.C., but often pine for the rolling hills of the Ozarks and visit every chance I get.

There are truly so many things that make Arkansas and those that live in her special. From crawling Dickson to floating the Buffalo and diamond mining to fly fishing the White River, she is the crown jewel of the mid-South.

The Natural State is forever my home and I know she is yours too. My hope is that you get a little slice of that feeling as you spend time with NSN.

Thanks so much for visiting my little corner of the internet. I’m sure glad you’re here.

Woo Pig Forever,

Mac
