Zach grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  There, he participated in a number of sports including soccer, basketball, and golf.  Zach continued to play soccer through high school and earned a scholarship to play for Western Washington University where he received his undergraduate degree in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Pre-Physical Therapy.  Zach’s amazing mother, a PT herself, was the inspiration for him to go on to PT school at Northern Arizona University.  Zach earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from NAU in 2011.  Although he enjoyed Arizona, it was no comparison to the Northwest, which is why he decided to return to Redmond PT where he had previously completed an internship under the direction of Ken Crinklaw. 


Zach boat Zach has completed in a variety of outpatient clinics and has experience with pediatric, geriatric, sports rehabilitation, pre-op/post-op rehabilitation, as well as elite athlete training.  Zach has also completed internships in acute inpatient settings where he gained experience in neurological and cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation.  Zach’s approach to physical therapy involves one-on-one guidance, facilitation, and education for the patient during all therapeutic activities.   Each patient will gain the appropriate knowledge and proficiency needed for carry over into their everyday life to ensure longevity and avoid re-injury.  By first gaining a comprehensive understanding of each patient’s functional limitations and his or her specific goals, Zach designs a program unique to each individual with the goal of returning the patient to an optimal level of function.   Zach utilizes a variety of techniques to achieve this goal including manual therapy to help normalize movement and decrease pain as well as therapeutic exercises based on knowledge of functional anatomy and biomechanics.

When he is not in the clinic, Zach continues to be involved with the Western Washington University Men’s Soccer team as well as local sports programs.  Zach also enjoys any type of water activities and is honing his golf skills in hopes of winning that elusive trophy with the rest of the Redmond PT golf pros.
