Hi, my name is Zach Dean. I am an Arkansan, born and bred. I have lived here all except nine months of my life. Those nine months were spent in Charlotte, NC. It is a beautiful place. I would recommend it to anyone. I am married to my beautiful wife of nine years (we just celebrated our anniversary) and have two handsome boys (7 and 10 months) and one beautiful girl (5). These four people are my life!!!
I graduated from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville (Go Hogs!!!) with my Bachelors of Science in Education. My emphasis was in recreation. UofA Monticello is my fourth college to attend. I started at the UofA Fort Smith, attended the University of the Ozarks and finally ended up at the UofA Fayetteville, graduating from there. I was the executive director of our local Boys & Girls Club for three years before deciding to get my Masters and teach. I love seeing kids use their giftings and helping them reach their full potential. I would one day like to coach at the high school level.
I have a passion for sports. Most sports will do for me as long as I am playing them. I am at home if I am on a field, court or course. My favorites are golf and baseball. I enjoy watching baseball, golf and football. I am an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan. I am not so happy right now with them being four games back to the Reds with just over a month to play. However, Albert Pujols just hit his 400th career homerun last night. A truly amazing feat. I cannot imagine hitting that many homeruns. I am definitely excited about the upcoming college football season. The Hogs are ranked 17th in some polls and that is their highest preseason ranking in a long time. There are high hopes for this year, I just hope there won't be a huge disappointment!
