Zachary grew up in Jacksonville, AL where he always had a passion for writing, history, and story telling. Upon obtaining his degree in secondary education/history from Jacksonville State University, he began writing Letters to a Savage in his free time with no real expectations for the future of the project. When he got friends, family, and (eventually) complete strangers to read and take an interest in the book, he realized it could turn from a fun hobby to something much more.

On May 31, 2022, Letters to a Savage officially hit the digital shelves on Amazon.com, fulfilling a life-long dream of his. Since then, Zachary has been featured in local newspaper articles and podcasts, and he's sold hundreds of copies so far with rave reviews from his customers. He's hoping to turn those hundreds into thousands, tens of thousands, and beyond! He might be relatively new to this industry, but he has a passion for writing and a hunger to be recognized on a larger scale for his hard work and dedication to his craft. ​

Zachary currently lives in Anniston, AL with his daughter, Lilly, and his girlfriend, Kelley. They are expecting another baby girl in May of 2023. He attributes any success he gets to his family and fans, all of which give him every bit of motivation he needs to keep pushing forward.
