MACK HENDRICKS

Mack Hendricks has played an instrumental role in helping to move the technology and food service industries forward in the Metro Detroit area by contributing his entrepreneurial spirit to the successful opening of two businesses.

Hendricks is the owner of Flyball, a technical solutions company based out Ferndale, Michigan. Flyball has been serving residential and business customers since 2005 and is dedicated to continuously creating quality, cost effective technical solutions. Through his continued plan to grow the technology industry, he co-authored two books, J2EE Design Patterns Applied and Professional Java Web Services.

Hendricks is also the partner of Taste Pizzabar and Premium night club in downtown Detroit. Despite the closing of several restaurants and clubs in the Metro Detroit area, Hendricks still moved to advance the industry by completing a full renovation and expansion of an empty space in Downtown Detroit. This empty space has now been introduced to downtown Detroit as Taste Pizzabar. Hendricks has been able to provide quality dining, exceptional customer service and an exciting new venue for Metro Detroiters to experience. Hendricks hosts several events at the venue to further the growth of other businesses and individuals.

Hendricks holds a Bachelor of Computer Science and a Master's of Computer Science from Oakland University.
