About Zach

Zach and I decided to write each other’s intros. I guess it’s a good chance to see how well we know each other and how we see each other. It’s also a lot easier for me to write about him than it is to write about myself (does anyone else find writing about themselves hard too?), anyway, that makes me pretty happy about this task.

Zach grew up in Denver and spent his formative years in Phoenix and California. He spent most of his life involved with the church. A few years ago, during and after studying Theology for his Masters, Zach felt more and more withdrawn from his chosen faith, mainly due to reasonable questioning and exposing himself to other world faiths. The view of the world Zach had 10 years ago is very different to the way he sees it now. Zach likes nothing more than learning, debating, questioning and evolving in all manners. You may find many of his posts will ponder on questions about spiritualism, faith and fate. While he might challenge a point of view, you should know equally he encourages being challenged himself.

 

He has spent time living in Korea and China and is now in London. Just like he managed to find Chipotle very quickly here, he found Dos Tacos quickly in Korea (the guy loves burritos! If you remember Chip ‘n’ Dale Rescue Rangers, you’ll remember Monty – the Australian mouse with a weakness for cheese – just a waft of cheese under his nose and his feet are off the ground drifting along with the cheese smell until it carries him to the cheesy prize. Well, that’s Zach, except with burritos).

Zach loves Batman, from the comics to the cartoons to the movies. He’s probably seen The Dark Knight more times than he’s had hot dinners (excluding burritos). Given half a chance I’m pretty sure he’d gladly prowl the city at night dressed as the Caped Crusader, though the life of a vigilante wouldn’t really suit him because he can be pretty jumpy.

Zach loves to sing, often singing songs he makes up on the spot (you’ll laugh your socks off if you ever get to hear one). His hands are colder than Mr Freeze. He can’t say no to another doughnut. He takes Angry Birds very seriously and he does the best Gollum impressions. But the most endearing thing you might not know about Zach is that he has a Lion King pillow which he takes with him wherever he moves. 

So that’s a little about Zach. Just enough to get this blog started I think…
