Zach used his talents, skills, and determination to graduate four-year university in three years Summa Cum Laude while playing a sport and working full-time. After spending a few years in the corporate world as a licensed financial advisor and financial management consultant, Zach found his home in Phoenix 10 years ago as a health insurance expert serving the self-employed, small business, and 1099 community. It was here where he developed his passion of helping others. Zach trained and mentored hundreds of entrepreneurs looking to take control of their income.

Through his work in health insurance, Zach became disillusioned with the health of our country. Too many sick people, too much money for care, too many drugs…no root causes being addressed. Couple that with the COVID pandemic and the vast government overreach that followed --- Zach saw freedoms being taken away and truth being censored and silenced and by the time the 2024 election rolled around, he had had enough.

Zach’s first venture in politics was campaigning for Robert F Kennedy Jr. He felt the physical and mental health of  Americans was the most important issue. The first step to fixing anything, was fixing that. He spent months gathering signatures, table fundraising and phone -banking. It wasn’t enough.

After the election, Zach knew he wanted to do more and continue to fight for freedom and truth and against government corruption and overreach. With a son on the way, he felt the most important place to start was his local community. Zach immediately fell in love with Phoenix when he moved here. He met his wife here and wants to raise his son here. But the way it is trending, Phoenix will not be a safe, sustainable city to raise a family.

The current City Council has mismanaged the budget. They’ve wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on homelessness just for the problem to get worse. They have failed to keep up with population growth. Phoenix is 14 fire stations short, 1000 police officers short, infrastructure is lagging, and there is a lack of affordable housing. Meanwhile half vacant luxury apartments are popping up everywhere because nobody can afford them. They funnel money away from essential services to pet projects, NGOs, and an expensive light rail that is hardly used.

When they finally want to address essential services, they tell you they need to raise your taxes to do so and do not let you vote on it. They have increased the city sales tax and increased property valuations which will cause the amount you pay in property tax to go up.

It is time for a change. Zach is not a politician. Zach is not trying to further a political career. He is running to return local government to all Phoenicians, regardless of ideology. We all want affordable housing, safe streets, more money in our pockets, and less government interference in our daily lives. It is time to Take Back Phoenix.
