Houston: A Launchpad for Faith and Innovation
Houston, Texas is gaining recognition not only as an energy and medical hub, but as a growing center for culture, technology, and next‑generation media. In this diverse, globally connected city, Reverend Ray C. Mackey III serves as Executive Chairman of U‑MIC Corp Global Media Operations, guiding a vision for “Media That Matters” that speaks to both local communities and worldwide audiences.
A Nationally Recognized Houston Leader
Rooted in Houston but recognized nationally, Reverend Mackey has been featured by the U.S. National Archives Foundation’s “All‑American: The Power of Sports” exhibition for his role as Chairman of the Biz Mackey Family Foundation and his work with the “Before42” symposium in Washington, D.C. His leadership reflects Houston’s own blend of sports, arts, and civic engagement, connecting local stories to national conversations.
He also founded the “Lifting Through Literacy” initiative, which earned national recognition and led to an official White House visit during President Barack Obama’s final administration, underscoring his commitment to youth, education, and opportunity.
Scholar, Executive, Pastor, and Author
Reverend Mackey’s background includes a fellowship at Harvard Divinity School’s RPP Colloquium, experience as an NBA front‑office executive, and service as a former C‑suite leader and Houston Symphony Council Chair. As an Executive Pastor and best‑selling author, he focuses on youth literacy, social intellectualism, and the ethical integration of AI in education—topics that resonate strongly in a city where innovation and education are front of mind.
