Zachary began working on educational philosophy and teacher training programs in 2022.
In addition to his work at SJHNI, he has more than 15 years of experience teaching, training, and mentoring teachers in Catholic schools. As the first Dean of Faculty & Curriculum at Sacred Heart Academy, he shaped the philosophy, faculty culture, and curriculum that helped transform a dwindling parochial elementary school into a thriving K–12 classical academy.

In addition to his administrative and consulting work, Zachary remains dedicated to the classroom, teaching literature, history, Latin, and philosophy to students in grades 7–12.
Zach speaks frequently on perennial pedagogy, the development of the moral imagination, and the challenges that digital technology presents to formation of mind and heart. He lives with his wife, six children, and an ever-evolving homestead near Grand Rapids, Michigan.
