Bio
David Peek
Zachary is a very intelligent individual with a great understanding of complex issues. Zach worked on a couple technical research projects for me at NetChange where he consistently exceeded expectations completing tasks that were both demanding and challenging. Zachary quickly became integrated into the company and always conducted himself in the most professional manner. It was disappointing to see him leave but I have no doubt he is headed for a very bright future.

I had the pleasure of working with Zachary during the summer of 2012 when he participated on the founding team of a new division at NetNumber called NetChange. Zach added value to both the Operations and Business Development teams during a dynamic phase of the start-up process. I found Zach to be tirelessly optimistic, willing, and able to jump into any situation. I hope to get a chance to work with Zach again.
