Growing up in the Yukon, Zach developed a larger-than-life love for his surroundings and spent his youth discovering outdoor sports under the beautiful northern lights.
Recruited by the University of Calgary as a wrestler, Zach turned to cycling in the off-season, but after being injured a few too many times on the mat, he decided to stick to the bike year-round. It was the hardest decision in sport that Zach has ever made, but it led him to the Olympics and a silver medal at the 2009 World Championships.
Looking ahead to London 2012, Zach is leading a resurgence in Canadian cycling on the track.
