When Zach first joined Delta Power, he stepped into the role of shipper/receiver. It was a job that put him right into the action, handling everything from small boxes to large shipments from vendors like Pickett and MacDon. At first, the sheer size and volume of the deliveries were overwhelming, but Zach quickly turned the challenge into an opportunity. Sorting through those shipments sharpened his ability to identify parts and gave him a foundation of product knowledge that he still uses today. Looking back, those early days weren’t just about getting boxes onto shelves—they were about building the base for a career in parts.
That foundation soon helped him achieve one of his first career goals: moving to the parts counter. After a couple of years in shipping and receiving, Zach transitioned into his new role, eager to put his knowledge to work directly with customers. It was a move he had been aiming for from the beginning, and one that felt like a natural fit, especially with his background in a similar role at the City of London. Where shipping had taught him the behind-the-scenes processes, the parts counter allowed him to step into the spotlight—solving problems face-to-face and helping customers find exactly what they needed. The lessons he learned in shipping continue to shape the way he works today. Zach understands how vendors ship and track their products, which helps him anticipate challenges and streamline processes for customers. That efficiency and attention to detail are what drive him at the counter, where he knows every second counts. His motivation comes from growth—there’s always a new product line to learn, new equipment to understand, and new ways to expand his knowledge. For Zach, staying curious and adaptable is what keeps the work exciting.
Equally important to Zach is the chance to support his teammates. He’s known for listening in when coworkers are struggling with a part search, and stepping in when he can help. Leadership, in his view, isn’t about titles—it’s about providing solutions, clarity, and confidence. “A good leader is someone who doesn’t leave questions unanswered,” he says. That belief has shaped how he approaches teamwork at Delta. He’s also adopted habits from his managers, like documenting orders thoroughly with screenshots and notes. It may take an extra minute, but it prevents confusion later and ensures nothing slips through the cracks.
Some of his proudest moments come not from big wins, but from the small, everyday ways he’s able to make a difference—whether it’s helping a coworker through a stressful part search or guiding a customer to a solution they didn’t think was possible. These experiences reinforce his philosophy that leadership is about service, and that the little things often make the biggest impact.
Outside of Delta, Zach leads a life that’s just as full of energy and variety. He’s a musician at heart, playing both guitar and drums—and now, passing those skills down to his kids, who are learning alongside him. At home, he also raises chickens, a hobby that combines a love for hands-on work with the practical reward of fresh eggs. These hobbies keep him grounded and give him balance outside of the dealership.
And then, there’s the dojo. A longtime martial arts enthusiast, Zach practices kickboxing and karate, and he’s currently training for his second-degree black belt. The discipline, focus, and perseverance he applies to martial arts mirrors the way he approaches his career—always learning, always pushing, and always aiming to be better than the day before. Around the dealership, the message is clear: Don’t mess with Zach.
