Zach has loved playing cards and strategy games from a very young age. Once he started playing poker in his teens with friends he quickly became hooked and began to read more about the game and start playing online poker seriously, focusing mainly on no-limit hold ‘em sit-and-gos.

After turning 21 and running up his first buy-in at live poker, he quickly transitioned to live cash games and has never looked back. He began taking on private students in 2014 and these days enjoys working with dedicated students as much as playing.

He teaches an introductory course to no-limit hold ‘em cash game strategy at Oberlin College and co-hosts the Just Hands Poker podcast.
