Overview

Through laughter and tears, your group will leave their time with me feeling deeply moved and stirred into action. Whether you are a business looking to center your team around one mission, or a church/non-profit who needs a fresh new voice to inspire your people, I look forward to serving you.
As a member of the John Maxwell Team and 6 years on staff at the largest church in North America, I carry both the knowledge and experience it takes to lead a room from stagnant apathy to energized mobility.

Great, engaging, and fun

I have had the pleasure of hearing Zach speak a number of times. I really enjoy his messages, he is engaging, covers all the points he is trying to make, and paints a clear picture. I can also tell he cares for the audience the way he speaks.

Attention Grabbing, Motivational & Uplifting!

Zach's a former Pastor of many years with countless hours under his belt of public speaking. Whether weddings, sermons, company motivation speeches, or pep talks, he's got the energy, clarity, and charisma to communicate clearly whatever the task at hand is.

Zach as a Youth Pastor

I volunteered for a church that Zach was the youth pastor at. He had all the qualities of a great pastor and speaker. He was fun, charismatic, relatable, emotional when needed. Always open to show his own vulnerabilities, making it easy for people to open up themselves. Kids and adults both loved him. I always told him and others he has a real effortless gift with people.

Engaging & Energetic For All Ages

Zachary showed up prepared, excited, and ready to tackle the speaking engagement. His message/content was correct for our crowd and he did a good job connecting from his body language, to his language, to his interactions once off the stage. You get the full package with Zachary. I would recommend Zachary for any speaking engagement, but especially camps, youth/young adult events, and teaching on Sundays.

Natural Story-Teller

Zach is a natural communicator. He is an effective story-teller, and can create an emotional connection that ultimately leads to a call to action. From on stage, to a weekly leader huddle, to an intimate small group, Zach has a heart to connect with others!

About

About to give my first talk, I watched as the audience froze with anticipation. As I looked around the room, I couldn't help but notice everyone staring - nobody blinked. My notes within reach on the blue leather podium below me and a nervous smile peering across my face. "You can do this" I reminded myself, right before opening my mouth to speak.
When I was done, nobody clapped.
Nobody cheered.
No one came to shake my hand.
I felt all alone.

I have to keep reminding myself that I was only 5 years old and my audience was made of stuffed animals!

My first podium was just a small blue rocking chair flipped upside down. That is where it all started. I believe that God created me to connect with people and inspire them to action. Speaking is just one of the ways I have been privileged to do that. My dad was a key influence for me to pursue a career in Christian leadership. I believe it was his death at 47 years old that became the catalyst for me to fully embrace what I was made to do. Walk in light and lead others to do the same.

I grew up leading groups on and off stage. All through school, starting in 5th grade, I was given opportunities to lead others, primarily in church settings, (real people this time) and it energized me. Shortly after graduating high school, I began stepping into more staff role positions at church. With nearly a decade of experience leading both on and off stage, 6 of which were at the largest church in North America, I have gained valuable experience and insights that I love to walk through with others.
Since development is never done, I always look forward to serving and learning from those I speak with.

What can I do to serve you?
