Born on June 15th of 1990 in Chicago, Illinois, Zachary Aidan Parker was born with everything one could have possibly wanted out of life. His father, Eric Parker, made a majority of his wealth in the information technology sector, rising through the ranks of a corporate company to become their Chief Information Officer, amassing a significant amount on his own before the notion of family came into play. It was on the insistence of her parents that the two meet each other and, despite a background more than riddled with trouble to do with her ex-husband and two children of her own with with the very same, Charlotte Butler of Oak Point, Illinois and Eric hit it off, perhaps surprisingly. Versus a deadbeat musician who had made a few mistakes of his own to do with family, Eric was quite the catch and not longer after, the two were contacting planners and preparing for a wedding.

In the marriage that followed, Eric was quick to find himself with a full household of children. While Zachary was his first born, Charlotte pregnant at the same time she was walking down the aisle to wed her new husband, there was also her children to consider - two boys, (name) and Justice. Eric tried as he could to appeal to them, perhaps not so keen to replace their father as much as he was intending to become the father figure they needed. It seemed not much cut through the fog between them save for an interest in baseball, something Eric took note of and honed by taking them to Cubs games whenever he could be spared the time to. It was only when Zach was old enough to not be a complete nuisance to the experience of the game that he started tagging along, he too planting some roots to the idea of having a brother.

Though it was difficult for his half brothers to adjust to not only a new father figure in their lives, but a new culture shock in the sudden change of status afforded by Eric's proclivity for hard work and the rewards of it, Zachary was accustom to nothing but. He had nannies to take care of him when his parents weren't around and, at times, when they were and were too far busy with work or leisure to pay attention to their children. He went to the best private schools, pulling in the highest marks thanks to the weight of reputation and the best tutors, and a clear record, free of trouble, thanks to his parents' generous donations.

Even so, it was nothing he took note of during his childhood, far busy being the shared shadow of his half brothers. If he wasn't following one around on ventures away from the house or being dragged along by the wrist so he'd keep up with their long steps, he was trying to pry his way into whatever they were doing - be it in pick up games of baseball that he couldn't exactly be any good in or making poor and surely unreasonably arguments toward going out with them when parties were afoot. Even with the introduction of his younger sister, someone he became protective of as the only full blooded sibling he had, Zach kept his eyes on the prize of being accepted as even a honorary Turner sibling.

Of course, that opened up a world of growth when he was older. If he wasn't locked up in his room when his brother, Justice, would throw parties, sending away the nanny and gathering up his friends for get togethers that would surely make any teen coming of age flick proud, he was among the guests. His first beer, his first hangover, even his first kiss with a girl could all be blamed on his older brother, and though there may have been reason to be found to play the tattle tale when the hungover came the next morning, there was no part of Zachary that actually wanted to see anyone in trouble for it, even if it ultimately came out who was at fault in the end. Perhaps he still hadn't found himself in the fold as he had hoped, but it was only a matter of time before Zach stepped out to find his own way beyond the shadow he had made himself.

At the age of eighteen and following application processes that seemed a mile long any which way he tried to cut through the clutter, including recommendations from his teachers and family friends in professional capacities enough to write something of the sort out, and a high school record that included positions on the baseball and debate teams for a number of years, Zachary found himself wielding an acceptance letter to Harvard. With his move to Cambridge, Massachusetts, he carried a particular interest in legal studies. Not only would it put his experience in debate to good use, but it stood to make him a solid living that wasn't in the same vein of his father's, not too keen on the idea of gaining everything he had simply because it was handed to him through a few silver lined phone calls.

Though the course work load he found himself with often left him with little time to expand beyond university walls, Zach managed with what time he had, splitting it between work as part of the Dorm Crew during his Freshman year and eventually as a filing clerk when that wasn't lucrative enough a venture. Though his father paid for the majority of his room and board, Zach had all intention on making money where he could, even if it was just to afford him groceries and some spending cash for those nights where work and school weren't of issue and he could focus on the more social aspects of a college tenure away from home and fostering friendships that, he certainly hopes, will carry for years to come.

Though he enjoyed the experience of a solid six years, especially considering the fun he got himself into among his peers - some legal, some not, but none he had any plans on telling his parents about - Chicago, Illinois was where he was meant to be and he knew it. Zach moved back at the beginning of 2015 following the completion of his Juris Doctor, and he was eventually set up with a paralegal position at The Law Offices of Dunn & Taggert on solid recommendation not only from his degrees and the prestige that came with it, but professors who he had made a fair impact on among those actually accepted into the program and his former employer in Cambridge. Perhaps it was even easier still to get the position on account of his father being friends with both partners, but it has been Zach's work to keep him there, working hard to perhaps see himself partner of the firm one day.
