Although born in New York City, Zach and his mother moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming as soon as he was out of the hospital and able to travel. Zach started his career modeling and acting in Denver(an hour from Cheyenne). He landed his first movie role in "The Laramie Project" for HBO, when he was in third grade.He now leads a hectic life flying back and forth from Wyoming to Los Angeles for work. His stepfather is a pilot and Zach often co-pilots on the many trips to L.A. At the rate he is flying Zach says he expects to get his pilot license before he gets his drivers license.

When Zach first landed in Hollywood he found his natural instinct to survive would serve him well. After six months of small parts and many acting classes in L.A. he was cast in the Universal film, "Smokin' Aces", directed by Joe Carnahan. According to the screening reviews Zach was hilarious, in fact his agent was told he stole the movie. As far as Zach is concerned that is the best compliment anyone could give him. Comedy is his first love. As a matter of fact he performs stand-up comedy at the Hollywood Improv. He recently got to perform in a movie for ABC Family, "Christmas Everyday", with one of his idols and friend, comedian Jay Mohr. He also uses his comedy and his interest in helping people as a talk show host for his teen radio show called "Speak Up" which airs Saturday's on Clear Channel.
