Zach founded UpWave to be a launchpad for passionate politicos who want their big ideas put into action.
He’s built leading email acquisition firms, multi-million dollar Super PACs, and viral political campaigns from the ground up.
For almost a decade, Zach has helped raise millions for groups like the Wisconsin Democratic Party, Voter Protection Project, and Defeat Republicans. He’s run digital strategy for winning candidates like Reps. Tom Malinowski (NJ-07) and Ted Deutch (FL-22) and viral races for Alex Walker (CO-03) that generated millions of views and helped a political new-comer win thousands of votes in a red district.
His vision and outside-the-box thinking has helped his client’s campaigns stand out in an increasingly crowded and noisy digital landscape.
Zach has a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Franklin & Marshall College and lives in Washington DC with his wife and K-9 sidekick, Chappy.
