Zach is of mixed origin, as he has Chinese, Austrian, and Nicaraguan ancestry. He started making videos as early as 1997 with just a home video camera, and within a few years he was able to buy a professional camera, a Mac computer, and a tripod as well. Honing his skills, Zach started using video editing software, including Final Cut Pro, and as a result launched the website FinalCutKing.com, on which he offered tips and training to other users of the particular program, as he hadn’t been able to find such information online. Shortly afterwards he began attracting regular visitors, and wanted to earn from his knowledge, hence he started selling training seminars, and with the money he put himself through college, graduating with a degree in Cinema and Media Arts from Biola University, Southern California, in 2012.
Before graduating, Zach started his YouTube channel, and uploaded the video “Jedi Kittens”, which became a hit on the internet with more than one million views in less than three days – the popular video has now attracted more than 14 million views. Soon after this success, he posted the sequel entitled “Jedi Kittens Strike Back”, which now has been viewed over 17 million times.
In 2013 he received the honor of being named by YouTube as one of the 25 most promising young film-makers in the US, and won $35,000 and attendance at a four-day YouTube Creator Camp in New York City, thanks to him taking a part in the Next Up Creators contest. His YouTube channel now has more than 1.2 million subscribers, while his videos have been seen over 276 million times, which has increased his net worth considerably.
After successfully launching his video-making career, Zach started a Vine account, which only increased his popularity. His first Vines received massive attention, which encouraged him to continue making short videos. This became his primary source of income and with more than four million followers, his net worth was rapidly increasing. Unfortunately, once Vine ceased its operation, Zach is in search of finding new income source, though he had success as an actor as he featured in the film “Zootopia” in 2016.
Regarding his personal life, Zach has been married to Rachel Holm since 2014. The two were a part of the reality game show “The Amazing Race” in 2016, and ended up being sixth in the overall standings.
