Zach earned his bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education with a focus on history and economics from Point University in West Point, Georgia. Before entering financial services, he spent years working with students, honing his ability to communicate difficult material and check for true understanding – skills he brings into every client conversation today.

Zach and his wife, Lauren, live in St. Joseph, where they stay active in their community through various volunteer roles. Together, they have spent the past four years serving with Pivotal Point Transitional Housing and volunteering in the youth and children’s ministry at their local church. Zach is also a member of the Landmark Commission for the city of St. Joseph.

In his free time, Zach enjoys the outdoors – hiking, camping, kayaking, and exploring state and national parks with Lauren. At home, you’ll often find him deep into a good book or focused on his latest model ship project, combining creativity and craftsmanship in every detail.
