Zach is an active duty USN servicemember, and is currently serving as a russian linguist. He is an avid ultra runner, lover of his tamaskan dog Attila, and father of one awesome daughter. He and his wife are Warhammer 40k nerds (He is a Tyranid player) and hit the gym as often as possible. Ernest Hemingway is his author of choice, Alien is his favorite movie, and the Mechwarrior series of games will always have a special place in his heart. Prominent musical influences include Rage Against the Machine, Radiohead, and Meshuggah. Mystery Science Theater 3000 will always be his favorite television show, Animal Rage is his preferred preworkout drink, and sushi is his favorite food. He wears only hideous vibram shoes, plays an Agile 7 string, and believes all people should squat and deadlift more.
