Zachary is a grateful recovering addict whose own journey through treatment brought him to Paramount Wellness Retreat — first as a client, and now as a member of the team. That full-circle experience shapes everything he brings to his role. Landing at Paramount when he did changed the course of his life, and that of his family, and it gave him a firsthand understanding of what every client walks through. As Alumni Coordinator, Zachary believes recovery doesn’t end when a client leaves the building — it’s a lifelong journey, and the connections people carry forward are often what hold it all together. He draws on his lived experience to meet people where they are, building genuine relationships and bridging gaps that are hard to reach without having walked the same road. He knows what it feels like to doubt that recovery is possible, and what it feels like to find out that it is.
Zachary is currently pursuing his Recovery Coach Professional certification through CCAR. Outside of work, Zachary is a dedicated partner, and a father to three beautiful girls, who are the heart of why he shows up for this work every day.
