Zach is defying all kinds of expectations. Sure, he's struggled with his disability but he never let it get to him. If you know anyone with a handicap, pass this on and maybe it will inspire.
There have been lots of emails sent in from folks all around the world, and I see it as a new frontier. People are pausing to reconsider handicapped individuals. We all have talents and aspirations. There's no limit to the human imagination & the challenges that can be overcome.
Ultimately we will all learn to look through a different lens. To listen to the specific message, skip to about 3:40

Zach is amazing and I think he gives everyone hope. Not just those who are handicapped. Seeing what Zach accomplishes on a regular basis totally has me rethink the obstacles that I encounter, which frankly, pale greatly in comparison to what he's had to overcome.
If you ever see Zach on the street. You should make a point of talking to him. He is one of the most upbeat and friendly people I've ever met.
On a side note, who is the guy that keeps shouting out things from off-camera? He was annoying and not funny and trying to upstage Zach CONSTANTLY.
Of course, Zach has a lot more patience that I do. He was unfazed by it.

I figured he was a typical paparazzi douche. If you watch paparrazzi videos on youtube, they are just chock full of guys like that, trying to get the last word. People learn to tune them out I guess.
Zach certainly has inspired me in a very unique way. You'd think I would resent my friend and room mate becoming famous-- but it's very much the opposite.
I've reached deep & found my voice thanks to him and our relationship these past 2 years. I reassessed some negative values I had. I made some major life decisions. A lot of the situation has been surreal but then again my head feels clearer than ever. And constantly inspired.
