Zach Zimdahl Starts His Manufacturing Career Early

Zimdahl’s path began with hands-on technology and CAD courses at Campbellsport High School. As he explored more manufacturing-related classes, he discovered that he enjoyed the work and could see himself pursuing it as a career.

“As I took the classes, I just kept liking it more, and I figured out that I’d be interested in doing something like this for a job one day,” Zimdahl said.

That interest led him to Moraine Park, where he took several courses at the Fond du Lac Campus while still in high school through the Start College Now program.
