Virginia Beach City School Board, District 2 (Kempsville)

Zach graduated from Virginia Beach City Public Schools, went on to Tidewater Community College, and then graduated from the University of Virginia. He then commissioned as a Surface Warfare Officer in the U.S. Navy, where he served for four years and learned leadership, accountability, and the value of teamwork.

After his honorable Naval service, he continued serving his community by coaching children with special needs as a baseball and basketball coach. He is currently pursuing an MBA at UVA’s Darden School of Business.

Zach is driven and believes elected officials should be accountable and transparent to the people they serve.

He will protect parental rights and oppose politicizing the classroom. Zach is also passionate about being a good steward of taxpayer resources and will never be a rubber stamp for a budget but instead ask hard questions about how money is spent.
