He served a leadership role on the New Jersey Home Health

Service Association Board acting as a staunch advocate for

caregivers and testifying at health senate committee meetings on

their behalf. He currently has a leadership role on the Brothers of

Color in Pharma Board. Zack continues his advocacy work in both

HR and caregiving today.

Zack was drafted into a long distance caregiver for his father

when he had a stroke and needed help with activities of daily

living for six years until he passed away in 2011. During this time

Zack traveled back and forth to North Carolina while holding

down a full-time high-level leadership role for his organization.

Today, Zack does the same for his mother who also lives in North

Carolina.

Zack with his wife, Phyllis, reside in New Jersey and

spend significant time with their family who live nearby and

include rescue dogs, three adult children, their spouses, and

grandchildren.
