Zachary Sutterfield grew up in a strong military household as both of his parents were service members. He planned to attend college to become a teacher…but then the unthinkable happened. Zach transferred to Texas State University and within 10 days, his apartment complex was purposefully set afire.
Five individuals lost their lives in the fire (two of whom were Zach’s roommates), and Zach himself sustained life-threatening injuries, including burns to more than 69% of his body and a traumatic brain injury. Although he was only given a 20% chance to live, he overcame all odds. More than a year later, Zach continues to recover and share his story.
