Zach Mesel

Technology is in Zach’s blood. Zach spent much of his youth in his father’s cardiac research labs, either as a test subject for his father’s research, or playing games with his older brother on mainframe computers. Zach earned his BS in Management Information Systems in 1988 from the University of Arizona, and then worked for IBM in Boulder, Colorado, and Palo Alto, California until 1995. After taking a sabbatical in Spain to get his bilingual certification in Spanish, he worked for a technical translation company in Seville, then returned to California in 1998 just in time for the tech collapse.
