Location: Johannesburg, South Africa
Childhood Aspirations
Growing up, Zack dreamed of becoming a civil engineer. He studied civil engineering at CJC, funding his own studies, but ultimately needed a job that truly defined him.
Current Role
Today, Zack works at Thirst Bar Services as a bartender, mixologist, and trainer, honing his craft and sharing his knowledge with others.
His Journey
Zack’s first bar job was just a way to make a quick buck, starting as a bar back for two weeks before being promoted to bartender. He admired his manager, who he describes as a “God behind the bar,” and learned by observing and adapting those skills into his own style.
Determined to grow, Zack sought out training from top bartenders worldwide. At Thirst, he continues to refine his craft by working alongside a diverse team, each with unique skills, allowing him to elevate his expertise even further.
