About Zac

·250 words·2 mins

I’m a socialist, engineer, public speaker, and Luddite. I enjoy long lifting sessions at the gym and strategy video games. I speak English, bad French, and terrible Japanese. I can pick my nose with my tongue and I make a great breakfast scramble. (the secret is yams)

Professional Profile
#

I have an array of post secondary qualifications. I hold electrical engineering and professional ethics degrees from Lakehead Univeristy, a diploma in electronics engineering from SAIT, and a space studies certificate from the International Space University.

I’ve worked in many different environments including fabrication shops, on movies sets, inside an active mine, commissioning mega-projects, and at the boardroom table. I’ve been employed by startups, small firms, and mega corporations. I’ve also co-founded my own company and participated in many entrepreneurial accelerators.
