Zack believes the Tiny Home movement is one of the most important and attainable elements of the overall environmental movement. It’s really part of a larger conversation about how we design our cities to cope with our current environmental and social challenges. Many of the same zoning laws that limit the use of Tiny Homes, also impede efforts to improve the affordability and energy efficiency of our cities. This is why he has become not only a passionate advocate for Tiny Homes but also involved in the greater discussion about affordable housing, homelessness, and zoning policy. In 2015 Zack became involved with a non-profit called "Operation Tiny Home" that was dedicated to supporting the construction of Tiny Home Villages for homeless veterans. Since then, he has taught workshops to groups of veterans in 16 different states. The program has expanded to include Native American communities and women's shelters. Most recently he formed a down payment assistance program that is available to any local hero regardless of military service.
In 2018 Zack joined the board of the Tiny Home Industry Association and now serves as the Vice President. Through this, he has been invited to speak with the US Secretary of Housing and Urban Affairs in Washington, DC, the National Convention of Mayors in Miami, and the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas. He has become somewhat of a de facto spokesman for the Tiny House Movement and it's a role that he passionately embraces. Although it’s a diverse group with various motivations, at the core there is a unifying appreciation of minimalism. Simply put, it’s a movement of people who believe that having excessive stuff in your life does not lead to happiness. We all have a different idea of "excessive" but as we look towards a future where the only certainty is the need to adjust our impact on the planet, exploring ways for more people to live in less energy-intensive ways is a big part of the solution. As a person with a platform for influence, he sees it as a personal responsibility to do the best he can to spread the message in a positive, approachable way.
