Quote from Coach: "Zak is the epitome of a servant leader. He has grown so much in his years at Calvary. He’s one of the hardest workers I’ve ever coached on and off the court, he loves his teammates unconditionally just as he loves his Savior Jesus Christ. He lives out his faith every single day and it is obvious for everyone to see that Jesus is the Lord of his life. We are so blessed as an institution and as a team to have Zak as one of our leaders and one of our captains, he will be sorely missed. We are so  grateful that he came to us and that God sent him to Calvary.”

 
Future plans: 
After Calvary, I want to use my growth in leadership and the knowledge that I gained to impact young mens lives through the game of basketball. I am working towards becoming a head collegiate basketball coach some day. Also, this past year I married my beautiful bride Talitha and want to continue to serve and lead her well. We are looking forward to what God has in store for! 
 
 
Favorite hobby outside of sports: My favorite hobby’s are spending time with my wife, playing disc golf and pickle ball with friends, and listening to podcasts.
