Hi there! I’m Zach, a submarine officer and aspiring civilian.

I grew up in New England, where my family’s submarine service inspired my path to the Navy and instilled a passion for taking on complex and challenging problems.

I studied nuclear and mechanical engineering at the U.S. Naval Academy and later Operations Research at the Naval Postgraduate School, where I developed a strong foundation in quantitative analysis, optimization, and data-driven problem solving.

Alongside my Navy career, I’ve continued to expand my analytical toolkit. I've built and published mobile apps and used coding and modeling to optimize networks, resources, and operational performance.

Outside of my professional life, I’m passionate about mountaineering, continuous learning, and tackling new challenges.
