About Zach

Close up black and white image of Zach Herrin's face

A 27-year-old Los Angeles, California native, currently residing in Greenville, South Carolina. I caught the racing bug early in life, as my family had a race team where I spent a lot of time at the track. 

My goal of becoming a professional athlete became a full time reality at the age of 16. Soon after, I found that there was something about myself that was holding me back. I left the racing world after realizing that I am gay and that there did not feel like a welcoming place in motorsports for an LGBTQ+ person like myself.

After spending a few years out of the industry, I have realized that I will always be an athlete and that I am ready to build a place for myself in the motorsports world and hopefully pave the way for other young athletes to feel accepted no matter what makes them different. My goal is to be a groundbreaking role model for all LGBTQ+ people and to show that we can be Queer and be an Athlete.
