Zach became a libertarian in 2010 after being disillusioned by the Obama administration's targeting of whistleblowers (such as Julian Assange and Bradley Manning), carrying out of colour revolutions across the Middle East, and continuing of the forever wars in Afghanistan and Iraq with his "Surge".
At that time he read G. Edward Griffin's The Creature from Jekyll Island (borrowed from a close friend), found Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, Tom Woods, Laurence Vance, William Norman Grigg, Hans Hermann Hoppe, and Mises.org.
He credits Dave Smith, Tom Woods, and Michael Heise of convincing him that the Libertarian Party could be a positive vector for liberty, prompting him to join the national party in 2017. In 2021, he joined his local party, the Libertarian Party of Tennessee, after witnessing the disastrous response to COVID-19 by both the government and the Libertarian Party alike.
Since 2010, Zach has been an ardent reader and supporter of Mises.org and LewRockwell.com, and he greatly misses his friend Robert Wenzel and his great EconomicPolicyJournal.com, along with the great William Norman Grigg's ProLibertate. He often wonders what they would write about the current events of the day.
