ABOUT ZACH
A commercial and documentary producer, director, cinematographer and photographer with 15+ years of experience, I've spent my career at the apex of sport, storytelling and strategy. My years as a collegiate and professional athlete have given unique tools and insights into the sporting world through which I craft emotive and driven storylines and strategy for the world's biggest brands.
I grew up with the sport of lacrosse as it blossomed from a quiet niche for some to an international passion for millions. Being on the forefront allowed me direct contact with the decision makers shaping the growth of the game. From first telling visual stories through still and moving images to creating authentic brand strategy, my journey has allowed me to tell stories with today's greatest athletes and the companies that support them.
My body of work advocates for the inherent power of sport to showcase how we all have the ability to overcome, persevere, triumph in our pursuits and, ultimately, teach the next generation the power within our dreams.
