He has three degrees from Indiana University and is certified in wildland firefighting.

Zach started writing for In the Agora after winning a contest in December of 2004. He beat out several finalists based upon his background in policy analysis, his ability to recollect obscure tidbits, and his domination of the evening wear competition.

Through blogging, Zach hopes to inspire a rapid cultural evolution sending man on a trajectory toward enlightenment.
