Zack received his Associates (AAS) degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant from Genesee Community College in 2020. He has also been a Certified Personal Trainer since 2016. He first started his PTA career in the in-patient setting at The Maplewood in Webster and Aaron Manor Nursing and Rehab in Penfield.  Simultaneously, Zack continued doing personal training a wide variety of clients, ranging from high school athletes to active older adults. Zack’s diverse personal training experience at different gyms has provided him a unique knowledge and skill set compared to traditional PT Assistant abilities, allowing him to assess and teach exercises at a higher level.

Zack joined the Peak team in February of 2022, initially starting in a part-time per diem role.  The Physical Therapists were able to individually train and further develop Zack’s ability to help our patients to such an extent that he was transitioned into a full time position by April of 2023. He has completed his Certification in Applied Functional Science (CAFS)  from the Gray Institute in Michigan (Peak PT is proud to say Gary is not only a mentor, and considered the “Father of Function” but he is also a friend) to further grow his knowledge base and skill sets at applying functional biomechanics principles to everyday patient care.  Zack’s continues working at growing professionally so he can better serve and help our patients.
