Originally a youth hockey player from New Jersey, Dr. Zach’s passion for movement, fitness, and human performance began at an early age and has shaped his career ever since. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Health from Miami University (Ohio) before completing his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Zach is a performance physical therapist who thrives on working with active adults and athletes of all levels. With over 10 years of experience in CrossFit and functional fitness, and over 5 years of coaching experience, he brings a deep understanding of training demands, biomechanics, and movement quality into every session. He holds his CrossFit Level 2 certification, along with SFMA certification, allowing him to seamlessly bridge rehabilitation, movement assessment, and performance training.

A firm believer that surgery should be the last resort, Zach empowers his patients through education, individualized programming, and intentional movement. His goal is not just to get people out of pain, but to help them return stronger, more confident, and better prepared for the activities they love.

When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll find Zach training for HYROX events, CrossFit competitions, and marathons, mixing in hybrid-style training, or getting out on the golf course. He also enjoys coaching, staying active himself, and connecting with the fitness community whenever possible.
