Zac will be the first to deflect any attention or focus on him; however, we’re going to ignore his advice and let the team learn more about a man who I consider one of my best friends and an amazing human being.

Zac will introduce himself more in the podcast, but there are six things I really want the audience to know about him.

Anyone who interacts with Zac comes to love him. He has had an extremely successful career because he can relate and build relationships with such a diverse group of people. Doesn’t matter if it’s a bunch of dudes who like to wear lycra or camo, they all love him.
Zac has the nastiest feet on planet earth. I don’t know how he got so many girls in high school and college with those things. Imagine having a continuous callous on the bottom of your foot. That’s exactly what the bottom of his feet are.
Zac is old school tough. I can’t think of time Zac didn’t finish something he started; whether its running Rim to Rim to Rim, Ironman, P2P, Leadville, LOTOJA or a marathon, he finishes.
Zac is an amazing Father. Being the Father of 5 kids requires a lot of sacrifice, patience, selflessness, and love. He embodies all of these. I still remember when Zac found out his 4th and 5th were twins. He manned up, took responsibility, and is giving those kids an amazing life.
Zac is hilarious. I often play this game with Zac where I ask for his opinion on a random event or subject. He ends up taking it somewhere unexpected and makes me laugh every single time.
Zac is faithful and loyal. Zac is faithful to his family, friends, and God. If I were stuck or in trouble somewhere, I know Zac would drop everything to come and get me. There are certain dudes who you would want to be in a fox hole with. Zac is that guy.

I won’t embarrass Zac any further out of concern that he will literally end this podcast prematurely; however, I’ve spent literally thousands of miles with Zac in Glacier, Whistler, the Grand Canyon Kauai, Carmel, Leadville, Moab, Jackson, St George and more. Those are some of my most cherished memories. He’s a tremendous example for me and somebody I consider a dear friend. (Taylor Cannon)
