Zachary Drumm

Zachary Drumm got his start in college, working on cars during the semester and framing houses during the summer. It’s given him hands-on skills in both worlds, although he has a preference for the predictability of auto mechanics. Whether you are adding a room to your house, wiring an outside light, or replacing the alternator in your car, Zachary Drumm has done it before. He majored in History at Pensacola Christian College, and loves living in the Florida panhandle where he surfs, skimboards and fishes. On any given morning will find him running along the Perdido beach as the sun rises.
