Zack began his participation in Native American Culture thru song and dance on May 16, 1981. He began dancing in the Men's Southern Straight dance category. Because his dad was a Southern Baptist minister, Zack was not raised in Native American Culture. Therefore, he got a late start in Native American Culture. In 1995 he attended the World Championship of Song & Dance hosted by the Mashantuckett Pequot Tribe in Connecticut. He won 1st place in his dance category and the title of World Champion. In 1991, Zack began traveling with Native American dance Troupes and has traveled to 15 foreign Countries and throughout the United States, and is currently a member of the Oklahoma Fancy Dancers dance troupe.
