My name is Zachary Sova. I am 33 years old and I currently live in Rochester, NY. My dad was origionally from Michigan, my mom is origionally from Ohio. They both attended Elim Bible Institute, where they met each other and decided to drop out of school, get married and stay and live in NY State. I am the oldest of 5 boys, then came Tim, then Paul, then Ronny, and finally Rich. Since I was the first born my parents named me Zachary, which means "He has remembered". My parents are christians, and raised us all to be christians-evangelical christians-and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and make Him Lord over our lives. We are non-denominational christians, and we go to Shepherd's Heart Christian Church.
I grew up in Greece, NY, a suburb of Rochester, NY. I went to Greece Athena High School and played baseball and ran cross country for that school. I was #23 and pitched for the Athena Trojans in 1996 and 1997. I graduated in 1997 and played American Legion Baseball in the summer of 1997 for Ferris Goodridge before attending Monroe Community College in the fall of 1997 as a Visual Communication/Graphic Arts and Printing major. I transferred to the Savannah College of Art and Design and was on the baseball team there, 2000-2001, although I didn't get much playing time. I decided the Savannah College of Art and Design wasn't for me, and so I came home and would later transfer to the University of South Alabama as a Secondary Education-History major. My goal is to teach High School history and coach High School baseball. Now I enjoy playing baseball just for fun, with my brothers Tim, Paul, and Rich. We play in the NABA(National Adult Baseball Association) 18 and above league. We won our first championship against the Yankees in our second year as a team in 2005, our second championship in 2007 against the Mets, and our third, fourth, and fifth championships against the Grays in 2010, the Braves in 2011, and the Lancers in 2012. We go by 3 team names, the Cubbies, the Greece Monkeys, and the Greece Ridge Mallers, the last two are kind of inside jokes. Our team is made up of a bunch of clowns who just love to play baseball and never take anything seriously, especially the league. We don't do practice...at all...ever...hahahaha!
I have an Associates degree in Graphic Arts and Printing from Monroe Community college in Rochester, NY. This image is part of a larger photo montage I designed by hand-without the aid of computers-in a design class there. The image to the left is me pitching for my American Legion summer league team taken from the local newspaper. I really enjoy blending together the two things I do best -art and baseball-so most of my artwork centers around baseball. If you would like to see the image in its entirety you can go to my Art and Graphic Design page.
