Transforming Yesterday's Tech
Into Today's Calm Spaces
and Tomorrow's Education.
Founded in Eau Claire, WI, MacMan was incorporated by Michael and Julie Ohren in December 1993, with its doors officially opening on January 3, 1994 following months of thoughtful planning that began in their basement. Today, MacMan proudly operates as an Apple Authorized Reseller and Service Provider.
Rooted in the legacy of MacMan, Giving Mac represents a natural and purpose-driven extension of the Ohren family’s long-standing commitment to service, innovation, and community impact. What began as a charitable effort within MacMan has grown into a dedicated nonprofit initiative, fueled by the same values that built the business from its earliest days.
Through Giving Mac, refurbished technology donations, financial contributions, and community-led fundraising efforts are transformed into meaningful opportunities for others. Students gain access to reliable devices that support learning and digital inclusion, while veterans and first responders benefit from immersive wellness and mental health initiatives designed to reduce stress, support recovery, and improve overall well-being.
The Ohren family and the MacMan team remain actively involved in advancing this mission by leveraging decades of technical expertise, trusted community relationships, and a shared belief that technology can be a powerful force for good. Together, MacMan and Giving Mac continue to bridge gaps, strengthen communities, and create lasting impact throughout the Chippewa Valley and beyond.
