Zachary Williams has lived in North Carolina all his life. Native to Johnston County he grew up in the small town of Four Oaks and graduated from South Johnston High School. Growing up in a family of animal lovers, he had little choice and even less desire to peruse a career in anything else. Working at the Carolina Ranch since its opening in 2012 quickly spurred a passion for customer service. Being that the Carolina Ranch allowed him to fulfill not only his passion for animal care, but also 5-star customer service too, he never felt the need to work anywhere else! To further his career, he attended Wake Technical Community College where he earned a degree in Business. At Carolina Ranch, Zach has worked his way up from Kennel Attendant, to Daycare Supervisor, and now to Assistant Resort Manager.

Zach lives in Garner with his amazing wife, Nicole, who works as the Social Media/ Marketing Coordinator at the Carolina Ranch. He and his wife have two goofy cats Lotti and Nemo, and one super good pooch, Lilo. Forever in his heart is also his great dane Earl, his big buddy who passed away August 17th 2020.

He is a huge Harry Potter fan, and advocates that everyone listen to the Harry Potter book series wonderfully narrated by Jim Dale. These books were a huge inspiration to the Dogwarts Daycare Program that he started at Carolina Ranch.
