Zack grew up with his adopted family attending Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, and from a young age his parents instilled in him biblical values and modeled the Christian walk. Zack had a hard time relating to that however, and he questioned the goodness of God who allowed such brokenness to come into his life.

But God is faithful. He slowly worked in Zack’s heart, and after graduating art school, he got a job working on staff at the very church he grew up attending. God has since used his gifts and talents to teach him it’s not about what he could do for God, but how much God loves him, and can heal even the deepest wounds.

Zack now serves as the junior high youth director, overseeing the very age group of kids he was at during his deepest struggle with his faith. Zack is truly beloved and his ability to reach the heart of the kids in ministry is a true testament of God’s ability to not only restore what was lost, but to breathe forth new life into each of our hearts for His purpose.

Zack is married to Daniella, they have a beautiful daughter Olive and a new baby on the way.
