Meet The Team

Gregg MacInnis, CKA, is a recognized financial educator, author, speaker, and Retirement Income Specialist. He is the co-author of “Retire Abundantly: The Proven Principles to Create a Worry-Free Retirement with Less Stress.” Gregg has been interviewed on Business Icons by Kevin Harrington, one of the original Sharks from ABC’s television show, “Shark Tank.”

MacInnis, who has been helping people with their money since 1989, is the creator of “The Gmac Family Experience” and is the founder and president of Gmac Family Financial and Whitestone Wealth Advisors. Gregg and his team help executives, professionals, and business owners enhance their lifestyles in retirement and leave a legacy to their families and the causes they care deeply about.

As a passionate marathon runner and certified running coach, Gregg, whose running nickname has always been “Gmac,” knows that enjoying a retirement of peace, freedom, and security is like running a marathon. His passion is to help his clients achieve financial stability and a retirement income they won’t outlive, so they can not only win the retirement race but enjoy the run.

Gregg likes to spend his free time hunting, running, and traveling with his wife, Janet. They have two twin daughters, Amber and Rachel, and a son, Mitchell.

Laura joined Gmac Family Financial part-time for one hour a day on August 15, 2018. Then, a few months later, she was working about three hours a day. Almost a year later, she was hired full-time as Gregg’s Executive Assistant. During her time as a part-time employee, she kept praying to God, “What do I do? I need more work hours.” And every time, God would say, “Be still and know that I am God.” She listened, and in August of 2023, Laura will be celebrating five years with Gmac, with her four year anniversary as a full-time employee following in September!

She has one 16-year-old son, James, who will be a senior in high school next year. She and James love playing cards and board games and worshiping together in church. One of her favorite things about Gmac is meeting new people and offering them coffee, and she loves making people feel right at home in the office.

Janet MacInnis joined Gmac Family Financial as the Chief Operations Officer in November 2025 following her retirement as Internal Audit manager for a fortune 500 Insurance Company. Her responsibilities there included reviews of the company’s Investment department and related investment holdings. She obtained her Investment Advisory certification in April 2026 and added the title of Investment Advisory Representative for the related investment advisory firm, WhiteStone Wealth Advisors, LLC in July 2026.

Janet likes to spend her free time taking care of her pets, which include a dog, a cat, and two hens, gardening and traveling with her husband, Gregg. They have two twin daughters, Amber and Rachel, and a son, Mitchell.

Jesse Newland serves as the Director of Client Services at Gmac Family Financial. Joining the firm in July 2026, Jesse is dedicated to fostering meaningful engagement with clients and ensuring the firm consistently delivers the highest level of service.
