From capturing skateboarding moments at 13 to building a career in visual storytelling, Zack has dedicated his life to the art of film and photography. Zack along with his daughter, Avery, are the visionaries behind "The Tiny Trailblazer", a passion project that blends interviewing people in different career fields as a "mini-reporter" to highlight their jobs, adventures, creativity, and tell their story. Through this initiative, they capture unique experiences and inspire others to explore the world through a filmmaker’s lens.
