On the field, Zach led NCAA D3 in BB/9 and went on to set the all-time appearances record as a reliever at Villanova. Off the field, he was originally on track for a career in investment banking before co-founding Paradigm.

While majoring in Environmental Studies at Columbia University, he developed the first iteration of Paradigm’s Stuff+ model, built specifically for mid-major programs.

Following his injury, Will transferred to Villanova University, where he is finishing his playing career on the mound while earning a graduate certificate in Data Science. At Paradigm, he oversees statistical modeling, algorithm development, and report maintenance, ensuring the highest level of service for all clients.
