Zach Mecham

Zach Mecham is a disabled entrepreneur, filmmaker, and self-appointed martyr. At 22 years old he was working two part-time jobs, going to school full-time, and serving as the interim preacher at his church. That is, until his lungs gave out on him.

Since then, Zach has started his own business and learned the life-changing power of the word “no.” He currently helps amplify the voices of mission-driven organizations through digital media marketing. Sometimes he also makes silly things and posts them on the internet.
