Personal highlights:
Early: Born and raised in Brooklyn to immigrant and legally blind parents, the virtues of industriousness and “capitalizing on opportunities” came at a young age. Zohar graduated high school at 16 and on his 17th birthday, joined the Marine Corps and served with distinction in the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit during the First Gulf War, in support of Operation Desert Storm. Fiercely patriotic, Zohar carries with him the bedrock of Marines ethos: Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
Now: Enjoys spending time with wife, Jenifer, and their daughters hiking in Woodstock, NY, listening to live music in New Orleans, or wherever else life takes our family. A outdoorsman at heart, over the last few years Zohar has climbed Mt. Rainer and Mt. Kilimanjaro, completed wilderness courses in the Alaska, picked up ice climbing, and is planning a Denali trip in the not-too-distant future.
Future: Keeping with his family’s three new countries a year goal, pre-COVID travel included UAE, Malaysia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Egypt, with Summer 2022 plans including hiking a section of the Camino de Santiago.
