He was kicked out of his university for failing his first three semesters and was in the process of getting deported for it. He fell to daily substance abuse for two years, got himself into crippling debt, was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder, and endured a year of medication, suffering side effects and withdrawal. He attempted to take his own life.

Today, Zed is a specialist in change management, Agile practices, business analytics, web/system design, branding, digital marketing, cybersecurity, and is currently pursuing a PhD in psychology. Having earned a Bachelor of Information Technology and Systems and a Master's of Networks and Security, he was appointed the role of lecturer by the age of twenty-six at the very university where his first enrollment was terminated.

From developing and managing some of Oceania’s biggest private game servers, to founding and growing a successful creative agency to a team of six, to directing chapters of one of the biggest professional referral networks in the world, to designing and composing master’s degree units for Australia’s most prolific university, Zed now seeks to bring change—real change—to those willing to commit to a unique lifestyle he formulated, called the Quasi-Chaotic Lifestyle, of which he remains a student; the answer he owes his life to.
