Growing up on Long Island Zachary was inspired by his family at an early age to garden around the home and neighborhood. This inspiration lead to a desire to learn and be part of the landscape industry. By age of 15 he was managing a four man installation crew and at age 17 was involved on a large suburban project on Eastern Long Island installing his first lighting and irrigation system; 18 zone sprinkler system and 240 low-voltage landscape lighting fixtures. Attending Binghamton University for his graduate studies in Environmental Planning with a focus on Sustainable Ecosystems, he learned how to design systems that depended on water management and low energy use. Among Zachary’s professional projects are being involved in planting tens of thousands of trees during the milliontreesNYC initiative and lecturing/teaching courses on green roofs & walls, sustainability and rainwater management for The NYC Parks Department and New York Restoration Project. Zachary joined BTH in 2016 through the acquisition of kokobo greenscapes. He has spearheaded the launch of the new lighting and irrigation division and is a key member in Blondie’s exterior department. When not at Blondie’s Zachary LOVES traveling, eating and skiing around the world with his wife, Holly.
