At 17, Zach took part in an expedition to the Amazon rainforest. For two months he traveled 1,100 miles on the Napo, Yasuni and Amazon rivers assisting with various research projects and interacting with indigenous tribes. The experience left a powerful impression on Zach and he spent the next 15 years living and traveling abroad to more than 50 countries on 5 continents.

Growing into adulthood "on the road", Zach became familiar with various international business structures and practices, finding a way to meld his artistic pursuits with his commercial ones. He wrote his first novel, MONKEY ME, solo sailing thousands of miles in the Caribbean and produced several music albums in Europe. He and DJ Vajdai Vilmos were the first to fuse Hungarian folk and electronica to critical acclaim with their debut album ETCHNO. Their follow up hit, ROMANO TRIP- the fusion of electronica with Gypsy folk- sold from New York to Tokyo and established a new world sound. Zach also launched an animated television series on prime-time Hungarian television which was later spun into a movie that reached number 1 at the box office there.

He then went to work for the Crystal Group of Companies, an international development conglomerate, where he oversaw the management of various industrial and commercial properties in the countries of Ghana, UAE and the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Dominica. He was also a principle in an alternative energy start-up in West Africa.

Moving back to the United States at 32, Zach wrote and directed his first feature film, THE SCIENTIST, starring Bill Sage. He then launched a women's luxury clothing line, building the brand from 4 stores to 110 throughout the United States and Canada. Selling his fashion interest in 2014, Zach moved to New York to become part of the decentralization movement, produce an independent film he wrote entitled ZORRA starring Ben Kingsley and launch the epic sci-fi fantasy adventure series SINGULAR.
