Zach is good with words and very knowledgeable about their origins. He enjoys Latin, action movies, and any sort of traveling. Zach is very protective of Lena and Kevin, and best buddies with Sam. He isn't too sure about the addition of another child to the family, but is open to trying to get along well.
