Growing up in Santa Cruz, Zach had a camera in his hand since freshman year of high-school— though there are reports from his mother that he would take the family camera to play with as young as 5. He graduated from Cal Poly in 2024 with a BFA in Photo/Video. Since then he has built a freelance business doing photography and videography for various businesses, non-profits, and musical artists. When he isn’t working he can be found disc golfing, photographing concerts, or walking in the redwoods with his dogs.
