About the Director

Zach grew up just outside of Washington, D.C. in Takoma Park, Maryland. Raised by parents who valued the environment and social justice Zach found Farm and Wilderness to be a perfect fit when he first attended Timberlake in 2000. He spent three summers at Timberlake before transitioning to Tamarack Farm. After two summers at Tamarack Farm and a summer off, Zach returned to Farm and Wilderness as a Lodge Staff at Flying Cloud in the summer of 2006. He spent two summers as a Lodge Staff, two summers as the Sensible Health Person and one summer as the assistant Director before stepping into the role of Director at Flying Cloud.

While spending his summers  working at Flying Cloud, Zach received his bachelors degree from Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont. It was here that Zach graduated suma cum laude in the Spring of 2010 with a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Production. He is passionate about connection with nature and community building and loves to share both with the campers and staff at Flying Cloud and Farm and Wilderness.
