Partner, Managing Director, Lead Advisor

Zac serves as Lead Advisor and Managing Director for Private Wealth Asset Management’s Omaha office.

Since then, he has been recognized in two past Forbes awards and recently ranked #25 among AdvisorHub’s 250 Advisors to Watch RIA list*. He continues to commit to lifelong learning and strives for financial literacy to be integrated into secondary and higher education.
