Zack’s ninja journey began when he was just 7 years old. He was spider jumping down the hallway , climbing the trim in the doorway with just his fingertips and feet and taught himself how to lache on a tree. The tree was in his grandma’s yard and ninja was a great bond for them. She was so proud when he entered his first competition, came in 3rd, went to Nationals and came in 4th. She has since passed but we know she remains so proud, she’s probably up there telling God all about her Njnja! Our ninja world snowballed from there. 9 years later he is a top ninja in his division, has competed countless times and traveled all over. 

At the end of November,, Zack and his mom will be driving to Missouri, a long road trip, so he can compete in the World Ninja League Premier Series Finals being held at Motus Ninja. He earned this chance by competing in a qualifying event. Many of you have followed Zack’s ninja adventures and know he goes to North Carolina for Words. At Worlds there are hundreds of Ninjas. Premier Series is more niche, only 50-60 ninjas qualify in each division, if even that many. 

While Zack qualified this summer when things were less busy, he has since become way more busy but managing everything very well! He is taking 5 college level courses as a junior and maintaining a 95 average, he played varsity soccer, AAU basketball and competed and trained ninja. He’s only done one ninja comp but earned 1st place! He is a hard worker!

Last year he qualified for Premier Series but with the final being held in Washington state, we just could not swing it. This year we told him we could make it work if he qualified. If you feel obliged to help Zack get to Missouri, he would be very appreciative.
