My name is Zak. I’m a singer, chaplain, writer, & autist with a voice.

You may inquire about engagements (singing, writing, public speaking) here.

me, c. 2018

I’ve lived up and down the Northeast Corridor of the United States for most of my life, and traveled to 30+ countries as an ensemble musician. New York City is home.

words, autism & thoughts

I write and speak about my experience in the world, faith, and the present evil age.

I tell my story in order to combat harmful stereotypes about autism, and to normalize neurodivergent perspectives.

My blog, “thoughts,” helps me achieve these goals.

singing

I have wide-ranging expertise as a pro ensemble singer and baritone soloist.

ministry

My dual formation as a Christian minister and interfaith hospital chaplain equips me to help people of diverse backgrounds discover their unique voice, internal resources, and eternal value.
