Born in Mississippi and raised in Hollywood, Florida, Pesach attended the University of Florida where he received a Bachelors degree in Exercise & Sport Sciences and a Masters in Sport Management. It was during this extraordinary period of time that Pesach – who, up until this point was known exclusively as “Zach” – had a spiritual awakening and subsequently made Aliyah to Israel.

Pesach is a Narrative Therapist, Energy Practitioner, and the co-founder of CareBnB, a "home away from home" with a range of services that include 1:1 narrative therapy, coaching, EFT Tapping, energy therapy, and veggie-focused cooking lessons. His greatest accomplishment to date is crafting the life he shares with his wife Chanah and raising their 9 kids in Efrat, Israel.

Pesach’s ultimate goal is to cultivate, nourish and strengthen people so that their lives become expressions of Divine Oneness. --
