Zach is originally from Quincy, Illinois. He moved to Joplin, Missouri where he attended Ozark Christian College and graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in Student Ministry. He met his wife Kelsey at Ozark Christian College and they have been in student ministry ever since. They have done ministry for the past 8 years in Kansas, Illinois, and Arkansas. Youth ministry was big for both of them in high school and a huge reason why they have a heart for it. They are both musically gifted and believe that worship is a way for people to intimately connect with God. Zach and Kelsey have two children – Piper (2020) and Oliver (2018). 

Zach’s life calling is to preach the Gospel to students.  Zach believes that no matter the circumstance or situation that God has the power to redeem it. The only thing that God cannot redeem is crunchy peanut butter…creamy has always been the peanut butter of choice!
