Zach Anner is a comedian and cultural satirist born on November 17th, 1984 in Buffalo, NY. He has a condition known as cerebral palsy, which he calls the "sexiest of the palsies". After graduating from high school with honors and a GED, Zach attended college at the University of Texas at Austin. There he worked on the sketch comedy show That's Awesome, the mocumentary show The Wingmen, and the documentary Forgotten Lives.

Through his website: therealzachanner.com, Zach has released several witty on-line videos causing him to become an Internet phenomenon. Anner has been featured in Time, Newsweek, and various magazines, and has been interviewed by dozens of national news organizations including ABC and Fox News.

Anner gained worldwide attention with his submission of a video to Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star competition. After participating in the competition Zach won his own Travel show on OWN. Singer-musician John Mayer endorsed Zach from the beginning and wrote an original theme song for Zach's new show.

On Rollin' With Zach, Anner travels the country, pushing his limits as he tries everything from surfing to rock climbing. And when things don't go as planned, Zach embraces the problem with his sharp sense of humor and a positive attitude, because he believes life is an adventure and sometimes you just have to "roll with it"!
