Zachary is a born-and-raised Floridian who grew up chasing sunsets on the beaches of Southwest Florida before trading them in for the magic and momentum of Orlando's theme parks. A former performer with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theater, Zachary brings a storyteller's heart and a producer's precision to everything he does.
With a professional background in hospitality, event management, and event production, he understands what it takes to create seamless, memorable experiences, whether for thousands of conference attendees or a single unforgettable journey. Outside of work, Zachary is an avid reader who rarely goes anywhere without a book in hand, often finding inspiration for his travels within the pages of the stories he loves.
This passion for storytelling has evolved into a specialized focus on Literary Travel, where Zachary aims to bridge the gap between books and real-world experiences. He is especially passionate about helping indie and LGBTQ+ authors find creative, meaningful ways to bring their stories to life through book tours, retreats, conventions, and curated travel experiences that connect them directly with their audiences.
Proudly LGBTQ+ and deeply committed to inclusive, welcoming travel, Zachary founded Here and There Travel Company to ensure every traveler feels seen, celebrated, and supported wherever they go. From theme park magic and Mediterranean cruises to literary journeys and global adventures, each itinerary is thoughtfully designed with care, creativity, and expert attention to detail, guiding you from your first spark of inspiration to the moment you return home.
