Zach grew up just south of Dallas, Texas with his parents and younger brother. Zach was recruited to play basketball at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs where he graduated in 2010 and then spent four years in the Air Force. During his time in the Air Force, he managed a multitude of businesses from childcare, hotels, coffee shops, bars and restaurant operations, gyms, and leading teams tasked with tracking members in other parts of the world.

After his Air Force time he spent two years with Corporate 7-Eleven helping run financial analysis for departments across the company. During his last two years in the Air Force he met his wife, Shannon, and they were married in 2014. Zach and Shannon moved back to Colorado Springs in 2015 and now have two boys with a third on the way. They spend time teaching the boys to cast (they are ready to be near the beach and the water, just ask them) and with their two bird dogs.
