A proud Minnesotan through and through, Zac was born and raised in the Land of 10,000 Lakes alongside three brothers and one sister. Their family, including their parents, shares a lively household with seven huskies—proof of their deep love for animals. Coming from a lineage of teachers and social workers, Zac's passion for serving others runs deep.
They began attending church during Lent last year with their parents, who have been connected to the congregation for over a decade. What drew Zac in was the church's clear commitment to social services and community engagement—a value that deeply resonates with them.
Currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in social work, Zac also brings a diverse academic background, having studied business administration, addiction counseling, and education. Outside the classroom, they enjoy playing disc golf, exploring on spontaneous adventures with their husky/malamute mix, traveling (with four recent trips to Vancouver Island!), and standing up for social justice causes.
One of Zac’s most memorable experiences came in ninth grade when they marched in the 5.5-mile Rose Bowl Parade, playing tuba with the Salvation Army band.
