Davie born and raised, Zach Green graduated from Davie County High School in 2010 and attended Appalachian State University that fall where he majored in risk management and insurance through the Walker College of Business.

Following graduation, Zach launched his career as a claims adjuster with AIG in Charlotte. In 2022, he moved to Amerisure Insurance as a claims specialist.

Zach enjoys what he does and plans to continue working in the insurance industry for many years.

Zach credits his internship experience at Johnson Insurance, a Davie insurance company, as the solidification needed that he was on the right career path. This experience gave him the opportunity to gain on-the-job practice and learn more about what a typical day in the role is like.

Zach received the Community Scholarship in 2010 which financially assisted with his college education. He attributes his success to not only his academic achievements but also to his unwavering work ethic and determination to excel in his field.

He emphasizes the importance of networking and building connections, advice he eagerly shares with aspiring students and young professionals.

His advice to current students?

“Take advantage of all resources and opportunities that Davie County High School and the community has to offer. Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone to gain knowledge and develop new skills.”

In 2023, he married Mallori, and they reside in Huntersville. He maintains strong ties to his roots in Davie, frequently returning to spend time with friends and family.
