Meet Zach Rippey

I went from slanging jokes on stage to writing top-notch speeches and scripts for clients all over the globe. I’ve written for prolific speakers like Ruslan KD, Troy Brewer, and Stephanie Chung.

When I'm not writing, I'm recording a podcast called "I Like Birds." We have been on the air for 5 years, with 225 plus episodes, and are ranked in the Top 2% of all podcasts. We’ve reached over 30 million people while encouraging people to walk with faith.

I'm also an author who hit the number #1 new release on Amazon in my category for my debut book, "21 Days in Africa.” I'm a husband and father of 3 boys and a baby girl who provides for them by using the gifts God gave me to help others!

I will make you shine bright with words that impact people, fill them with joy, and leave them transformed.

I love what I do! Let's Work!

He takes your vision and adds his touches to make it a masterpiece whether it’s descriptions for real estate properties, speeches for special occasions, or personal bios needed for your brand — he has you covered.
