Zach grew up in Dallas and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a minor in Economics. In school, he did systems engineering work for an asphalt plant and software engineering work for Dell Technologies. Outside of DMC, Zach enjoys water and snow skiing, homebrewing, running, travelling to new places, applying economic theory (i.e. losing) in poker, and praying that the Dallas Cowboys will eventually make it past the first round of the playoffs.<\/p>
