In parallel with his theatre career, Zach works professionally in communications and event management within the aggregate and construction industry. He supports major conferences, training programs, and milestone celebrations, contributing to branding, storytelling, and logistics. Known for his leadership, organization, and collaborative approach, Zach aspires to build a future career that combines professional theatre production with teaching at the secondary level, mentoring the next generation through the arts.
