Zach’s remarkable Story

When Zach was competing to win a reality television series from Oprah in 2011, he never unpacked his suitcase, certain he would be the first to be sent home. With his tenacity, talent, and sense of humor, Zach won not only his travel show Rollin’ With Zach on the Oprah Winfrey Network, but the hearts of millions of fans across the internet. He became the first person with cerebral palsy to host his own television show.

Zach’s memoir, If at Birth You Don’t Succeed: My Adventures with Disaster and Destiny, is a hilariously irreverent and heartfelt memoir about finding your passion and your path, not by overcoming challenges, but by embracing them.

Zach became the internet’s most unlikely fitness guru with his comedy exercise series on YouTube Workout Wednesday, encouraging audiences to, “be good sports…even when they’re not good at sports.”

He has worked with Rainn Wilson’s media company SoulPancake, hosting the show Have A Little Faith (which explored world religions), and Top of the Monday (a feel-good news show).

Zach was a writer and guest star on ABC’s hit sitcom Speechless, and a writer for AppleTV+’s Emmy-winning family comedy Best Foot Forward. 

He’s an Ambassador for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation and has worked with UCPLA Wheels for Humanity, which supplies wheelchairs to people in developing countries. He’s worked with brands including Microsoft and BraunAbility to create informative and entertaining viral content.
