Hi! I'm Zach
Student, Blogger, Web TechnicianA Little About Me
I am a Jewish Generation Z student from the Greater Boston area. I have been a proud Bay Stater all my life and am beginning college in the Washington D.C. area beginning Fall 2024.
My greatest joy is being able to travel all over the world, and always being able to learn more and experience more amazing things this world has to offer.
When I am not traveling or writing this blog, I am usually at home studying, at school, or working my part-time job as a Web Technician for a WordPress development agency creating sites for local businesses.

How The Blog Started
ZachsThoughts got its start in August, 2020 in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire as a COVID hobby under the advice of my therapist. It was never intended to be a fully long-term project. More so for a place to get my thoughts out.
There was no focus on the blog initially. It was just about whatever I thought was worth writing about. Over time, I was able to find a rhythm that can still be seen within the blog today.
As time progressed. I not only began to improve my writing with the site, but also get involved with the world of web design. Which brought me to my current part-time job. Who had the generosity to provide a premium theme license and hosting at a subsidized rate.
In 2023, ZachsThoughts began operating Contemplations Of A Raised Ranch. A Substack newsletter that will carry all of the blog’s General Thoughts while reviews remain on the main ZachsThoughts domain.
ZachsThoughts is proud to be a fully independent site. We are not affiliated nor sponsored by any business/organization.
The Beginning
The ZachsThoughts domain was bought and WordPress was installed onto the host. (Which was HostGator at the time!)
Launched!
ZachsThoughts officially went live with Zach’s Thoughts on Waterville Valley NH being the first post.
Ahoy Sydney!
After 3 months on the default visuals, ZachsThoughts flipped the switch to Sydney. Which had the blog begin developing its current structure.
Le Ode!
Zach’s Ode to 2020 was released. The flagship post series for ZachsThoughts.
Mesmerized!
ZachsThoughts was given a license to use the Mesmerize framework. Which ZachsThoughts used from this point forward through Q3 2023.
The Wheels on the Bus Go…
Zach’s Grand Journey ‘Round the USA began going live. This is the 2nd and most-successful post series of the blog to date.
Spectracular!
ZachsThoughts began using the Spectra plugin in companionship with Mesmerize Pro. Many posts were written with the plugin in mind
A New Elegant Appearance!
ZachsThoughts was generous given a Divi API key, which was utilized to completely rebuild the website into the design still in use today!
