Growing up as an athlete, he built the foundations of work ethic, team building, and leadership. Through elementary, middle and high school, he was a wrestler, yet when college came around, he was recruited to the cheer squad, where he truly learned about lifting up others. After college Zach went on to manage one of the largest health clubs in Georgia, but quickly found that the corporate fitness sales life was not what he thought it would be. He then moved on to be a district manager for good ole' Waffle House. As anyone in restaurant management knows, it was not all rainbows and butterflies. Experiencing rapid burnout, and not feeling fulfilled, Zach started searching for other avenues, and found a passion for helping others in the financial field. He currently is a financial advisor and broker, with a goal of growing business to all 50 states in the U.S. His mission is to break the status quo of the financial services industry, and help people truly understand how to win the money game.&nbsp;
