Zac is a talented skateboarder who is helping to build community as a sheriff's deputy in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Zac goes to the local skate parks while on patrol and visits the younger generation of skateboarders and builds a rapport with them by showing his skateboarding ability and being a positive role model. Zac strives to be a positive impact on everyone around him, and also humanizes law enforcement and shows them he is just a regular guy. Zac started Kickflips and Donuts to help support the younger generation and sponsor skateboarders so that they can follow their dreams as well. Zac explains that he found his sense of camraderie in the skateboarding community post his military service and it provided a sense of purpose with mentoring the youth.

Zac can be found on both TikTok and Instagram at: @Kickflipsanddonus

He has shirts and other merchandise that can be purchased to help support his mission.
