Zachary's passion was LEGO building and he built LEGO City in his basement. He utilized all of his LEGO knowledge and expertise to create and become a LEGO Master Builder and Mayor of his city.
Zach was officially adopted in 2001 in a sacred ceremony as a family member of the Mountain Oak Clan of the great Cochiti Pueblo Tribe of New Mexico. He was gifted a name that translates to "Rainbow Warrior" which means "A Person Who Brings People Together".
