About Me Born and raised in Bulverde Texas, Zach’s love of music theatre was sparked at age three while marching up and down the stairs imitating the Von Trapp family. Recognizing his natural gifts and life passion, his parents enrolled him in dance classes at age seven. Zach attended Earle Cobb Dance Studio through his senior year of high school under the direction of Dena Mabry. In fifth grade Dena cast him in his first musical at the North East School of Arts (NESA) as Junior Dolan in ON YOUR TOES. Later, Zach auditioned and was accepted into NESA as a double major in musical theater and dance. After graduating from NESA, Zach attended Florida State University (FSU) majoring in Musical Theater. During the summers Zach performed in Theme Parks as well as regional summer theater. His sophomore year he interned with Maine State Music Theatre and had the opportunity to work with Michael Gorman and Donna Drake in A CHORUS LINE, Marc Robin in LEGALLY BLONDE, and Michael Lichtefeld and Charles Repole in 42ND STREET. After graduating from Florida State, Zach spent his summer dancing the original choreography of SPAMALOT at the Arrow Rock Lyceum Theatre under the direction of Billy Sprague Jr. |
In the fall of 2014, Zach moved to New York City. Within a few short months, Marc Robin cast Zach in the ensemble of WHITE CHRISTMAS understudying Bob Wallace at the Fulton Theatre. In the summer of 2015 he danced the season at Theatre by the Sea with the opportunity once again to work with Lichtefeld and Repole, as well as Billy Sprague Jr., and Kevin P. Hill. Zach sang in the quartet and played the role of Jamie in MY FAIR LADY, understudied Prince Eric in THE LITTLE MERMAID, and danced in YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.
