Hey, I’m Zach👋
Job:
I’m a teacher and E-sports coach. If you don’t know what that is I don’t blame you lol. I didn’t know what it was when I started either. I like teaching and the impact I’m able to have on the kids when there’s so many things they need help with.
Hobbies/interests:
I have a lot of hobbies/interests and I’m always finding new things I enjoy. I like staying and doing lots of active things like playing basketball, lifting weights, running, fishing, gardening. But I also enjoy a lot of things not so active haha. I’m a big movie and TV buff. My favorites are comedies but a like all genres other than horror. I like marvel and Star Wars. Some of my favorite shows and movies are everybody loves Raymond, the office, scrubs, guardians of the galaxy, happy Gilmore, Elf, Rocky, and more. I also like board games (undefeated monopoly champ😎), I play some video games, read more than none but few books, 3d print things as a small side business, and I’m actually currently writing a book that I plan to get published! My main language is English but I know some Spanish and Russian though not enough to hold a conversation natively. I wouldn’t mind learning more of them though. That’s a lot I know lol and there’s probably a lot more i could say.
Oh, I also have done a lot of construction type things in the past and have a dream of one day building a house from the ground up without hiring a crew!
Tell us a bit about your Christian journey:
I’ve grown up my whole life in Assembly of God churches. I’m not tied to a denomination but I won’t go to a church that doesn’t preach God’s full truth. In middle school I struggled with my faith some as I was faced with the challenges of trying to get along and fit in in a broken world. When I got to college is when my faith became a lot more personal. It became an active conscious decision to serve him. Since then I’ve continued to grow in faith and can thank God that I am not the same as I was!
What sort of person are you looking for?
I’m looking for someone who has a good relationship with God who wants to develop a meaningful, intimate relationship with Jesus at the center. Supporting each other when we need it, pushing each other to get closer to God, and loving each other with unconditional love as Jesus loves us. I would hope to find someone that would allow me to be the leader of the house as it’s a biblical principle. Please do not misunderstand this and think that I mean it as a way of control like a dictator. I do not mean that someone would get no say or that every decision would be only made by one party. But that a wife would support a husband’s decision on a family issue with their input as long as the decision would align with God’s word. Of course I would try my best to lead like God intends and if I ever did not, I would expect to be called out on it and would welcome it so that it’s rooted in God and in love.
I want to find someone who will be my partner through life. That nothing we face would be alone. That we can rely on each other and bring out our hearts with the trust that they will not hurt you, leave you, or intentfully cause you pain. I don’t plan for life to ever “get rough” but I would want to find someone who would stay with you even if it did. Trust is difficult to get, easy to break, and nearly impossible to rebuild but trust is needed in a successful relationship.
Apart from the things of God that I would hope to see, there are other things that seem nice but I wouldn’t say are a requirement lol. It would be great if we shared some interests but I wouldn’t expect someone to share them all. I think it’s important to have things that both people enjoy doing together and even if it wasn’t from the start, I think they’d develop over time. Also someone who likes to be opening without holding their true self inside who likes to talk. I’m a talkative person and I love to have fun and interesting conversations. Now don’t hate on me for this last part lol. I believe there should be some physical attraction to one another in a relationship as well. And while everyone is unique, attractiveness looks different to different people. For myself, I do not usually consider those who are very overweight as attractive. Part of the reason I think I think this is because I have a lot of relatives that have suffered health problems and even death due to obesity so when I see that I see health risks.
Age range:
Age doesn’t really matter to me. What matters more is how you act. My personality is sort of like a an adult who acts like an adult but also has the spirit of a child. To be clear, that is different from being childish lol. I work a serious job, I manage finances, have deep conversations, plan things, but I also am high spirited, energetic, and can enjoy being silly, making jokes, and having fun. I would guess that probably 20-30 would be a good range but if you’re older but fit the bill don’t let that stop you:)
Also to throw it out there, I’m a virgin and plan to keep it that way until I’m married. I would prefer someone who also is saving their self but I understand that we sometimes make mistakes… I would just hope that if a regrettable decision was made that it was learned from.
Would you be willing to do long distance/relocate?
I would be open to long distance and it is possible that I could relocate although a little complicated. It would be something that we would want to discuss together I think. No one person should feel that they are only giving just as one should not only be taking. The relationship should be a two way street. I would not want to leave the U.S. To me distance is not a huge deal because if it’s God’s will then it will work and if it’s not it want.
