I'm Zachary Quintana
I'm glad you made it! Here I blog about interesting environmental finds or anything that comes to my mind. Keep an eye out for my piano students as well as personal anecdotes that I share with the world. Remember to above all else, be a doer; not just a knower.
Please reach out to me with any comments or suggestions.
Blog Posts
In an effort to spread (even more!!) awareness about the vast amount of environmental problems our world is facing- here is where I discuss some of these issues and offer insight into the beauty of fixing and the story of problems.
If I'm not talking about the environment here, I'm probably coming up with a way for you to make money, or make your life better; so definitely take a look at what I have to offer!
