Zach is a 3rd year transfer student at UCSD pursuing an education in both Philosophy and creative writing. He served for 8 years in the U.S. Coast Guard as an electronics technician before becoming a full-time academic, humanities enthusiast, and pedant of language. By combining his background and scholastic endeavors, he hopes to write both creative fiction and creative nonfiction that blends the humanities with the sciences. Zach is committed to the intersection of humanities and technology, and is excited to explore how the two can be integrated.
