Zach is a senior studying finance and Greek & Roman Civilization at the University of Notre Dame. He grew up a St. Louis Cardinals fan near Cubs territory in Bourbonnais, IL following a generational fanhood line. When the Cardinals are in the playoffs, you'll find him in the same seat for every game, where he eats a bag of Funyuns and drinks Mountain Dew, because for some reason it works.
