MEET ZACH.

Zachariah Joseph Anderson was born to Barry and Mary Katherine in Port Washington, Wisconsin. He is the second eldest of Barry and Mary Katherine's four children: Joshua, Zachariah, Aaron (deceased), and Solomon. Zach grew up throughout the Port Washington, Mequon, Milwaukee, Cedarburg, Random Lake, and Saukville areas. 

By the time Solomon was born, Barry and Mary Katherine had split. Barry re-married to his second wife, Becky, who Zach still calls "mom" and has a close relationship with to this day. Mary Katherine found a new relationship as well, and gave birth to Zach's first half-sister, Chavalah. Their mother moved to Texas and would eventually re-marry twice more and have two other daughters, Zenith and Fionn. 

Eventually, Barry and Rebecca divorced and he married his third wife, Anna; they had two additional children: Matthew and Samantha. These additions positioned Zach as the second eldest of nine total children; he has always maintained the closest relationship with each of them.

Zach graduated from Port Washington High School and went on to receive an Associates Degree from Milwaukee Area Technical College. During a portion of high school, he moved down to Texas to try to live with his mom again but eventually hitchhiked his way back to Wisconsin. He also has spent some time living in Colorado and California. Mostly, Wisconsin has always been home.

By the year 2008 his daughter was born, followed by his twin boys in 2015. To Zach, being a father is his greatest achievement.

Throughout the years, Zach has held a variety of jobs, including waiting tables, painting bridges & overpasses, working construction, and working for many years at AT&T in a variety of capacities. At the time of his arrest, he was working as an audiovisual maintenance technician for Milwaukee Area Technical College and helped Solomon with demo or construction jobs on the side.
