Growing up a water polo player and swimmer, Zack embarked on his triathlon journey following an injury which kept him out of the pool and put him on the high school track team as a third string distance runner. His introduction to running led him to seek bigger challenges in college, as he found his true talents lay in triathlon rather than a single sport. Success came through several years of intense work, and in 2014, Zack achieved his long time goal of turning Pro in the sport he loved. Following a stint in Boulder, Colorado to finish his undergrad degree, and learn the ropes of coaching and training at altitude, Zack returned to his home in Chula Vista to pursue endurance coaching full-time. His commitment to success and athletic excellence has been key in the development of his athletes.
