BORN INTO IT.
It started before Zac could even reach the equipment. Growing up, he watched his mom teach group fitness classes and remembers sneaking into the weight room every chance he got to get in reps on the military press machine. The gym was never a foreign place — it was home.
As he got older, training became his outlet. He asked every question he could, read everything available, and experimented relentlessly with training, programming, nutrition, and supplementation. People noticed the changes he was making — in his physique, in his performance — and before long he became the go-to person for anyone who wanted real answers about training and nutrition.
EVERY STYLE.
EVERY STAGE.
What separates Zac from most coaches isn't just time — it's the range. His coaching journey has taken him from bodybuilding and body composition to CrossFit competition, from setting state records in powerlifting to training a world champion powerlifter. He has worked with high school, collegiate, and professional athletes in baseball, basketball, football, and golf, trained busy professionals and executives, and coached competitive golfers through TPI-certified programming.
In 2022 he stepped on stage himself, competing in bodybuilding — experiencing firsthand the discipline, the mental reframing, and the physical demands his clients navigate every day. He has since shifted his competitive focus to golf, bringing that same obsessive approach to the game and his TPI certification to his clients.
The result is a coach who has not just studied these disciplines — he has lived them. That personal experience directly shapes how he coaches, because he understands the struggle, the reward, and the mindset shifts required at every level.
EVERY DIET.
ONE TRUTH.
Zac's nutrition journey has been just as varied as his training background. Coming from a family with a history of easily preventable health issues, he developed a genuine passion early on for understanding what it actually means to eat well — not just for aesthetics, but for long-term health.
He has been through it all: clean eating, macro counting, paleo during his CrossFit years, bodybuilding contest prep, and everything in between. His time preparing for the bodybuilding stage also required learning to identify and manage inflammation through an elimination diet — a process that gave him a firsthand understanding of how profoundly food choices impact how you feel and perform, beyond just body composition. Each phase taught him something new. And after years of studying and personally experimenting with nearly every nutritional approach out there, one truth became clear: there is no single prescription that works for everyone.
Best results require an individualized approach — built around the person in front of you, not a template. That belief is the foundation of every nutrition program he writes.
HUSBAND.
FATHER.
COACH.
Zac is a husband and father of two young boys, and he will tell you that being a dad is the greatest gift and responsibility he has ever been given. That perspective shapes how he coaches. He understands the reality of trying to take care of yourself when life is full — the early mornings, the competing priorities, the guilt of carving out time for yourself.
It also shapes the way he thinks about health. This isn't about looking good for a vacation. It's about having the energy to show up fully for the people who need you. Training and nutrition done right aren't indulgences — they're how you sustain everything else that matters.
