I have worked with Zach for 5 years, both as a colleague and as a consultant. Having worked with many consultants over 25 years in non-profit management, I put Zach at the top of my list! He is reliable, consistent, thorough, an excellent communicator, humble, and keeps his sense of humor in the midst of it all. Zach never promises more than he can deliver. And once delivered, the quality of his work is excellent. It’s detailed, clear, on track and orderly. He works very well independently, but always seeks clarifications where necessary. When Zach is working on a project for me, I know that it will be completed in a timely manner, with thoughtfulness and integrity. I give him my highest recommendation!

Working with Zach is different from any other Salesforce consultant. While Zach has depths of knowledge in Salesforce, he uniquely knows how to communicate and educate his clients so that they can reach a shared understanding and common ground to work from. I’ve changed jobs, but my Salesforce consultant has and will not. Zach is a necessary consultant for any non-profit building out its CRM.

We hired Zach to help us with a data migration from our custom Salesforce instance to Homekeeper. Our organization isn’t very tech savvy and I have only been using Salesforce for a little over a year, so it was a daunting task in my mind. Zach was amazing from the first consultation to the big day of actual migration and still checks in to make sure everything is going smoothly. He broke down the migration steps into logical, manageable tasks and showed me how to do a lot of the work to keep costs down. Sometimes I had no idea what he was talking about when it came to the inner workings of Salesforce, but Zach was really patient and explained things so that I could understand and get him the information he needed to make the data land in the right place. Zach is extremely organized, smart, logical and kind of a Salesforce whisperer. I was often amazed at how he could whip up code on the fly to make things work. I learned so much as he guided me through the migration and he patiently let me help with many of the steps so I could better understand what was happening and how to use Salesforce. Zach was very clear about how much time each step would take and had me very prepared for the actual day of migration. The outcome was incredible–all of our data transferred smoothly and accurately. I would highly recommend Zach of Lincoln Park Consulting to anyone needing help with a big data migration, or even smaller customizations. His expertise and planning skills make working with him enjoyable and productive at the same time.

As a rapidly growing non-profit community land trust, we hired Zach to help us create and launch an online application that would make the applicant experience more user-friendly, secure and customized for our potential homeowners.  Zach exceeded our expectations in every way – he is incredibly responsive, forward-thinking, detail-oriented and he is a great communicator.  Perhaps most importantly, Zach is a fantastic problem-solver! He has helped us maximize our investment, remain within budget, and set up our systems to be more efficient for our staff, and more user-friendly for our applicants.  We will soon engage Zach for a Phase II of our application, and we are all thrilled to be working with him again.  He has been a tremendous asset as a consultant to our organization and we would highly recommend him!

The HomeKeeper team at Grounded Solutions Network has worked with Zach since before he launched Lincoln Parkway Consulting, and have consistently been impressed with the quality of his work, and his work ethic. The work of Lincoln Parkway Consulting has significantly contributed to our capacity in projects including FormAssembly and Salesforce data migration, as well as custom solutions. In addition, Zach’s flexibility, sense of humor and responsiveness makes work more delightful.

Zach far exceeded our expectations.  As a financial institution we needed to turn a cumbersome and somewhat complex legal document into a more user-friendly template for use by our staff.  The quality of Zach’s work, his responsiveness, professionalism, and efficiency were tremendous.  Our staff members are already coming up with a ‘wish list’ of projects they’d like Zach to help us with next!

Rex Fowler, CEO, Hartford Community Loan Fund

I highly recommend working with Zach at Lincoln Parkway Consulting. I am so pleased that our organization hired Zach to set up our online Homekeeper application. Zach was efficient, responsive and set up very clear expectations. Additionally, He made helpful recommendations to make our software user experience smoother. In the end the process went so seamless that we even came in under budget!

Mary-Jayne Walker, Affordable Housing Administrator, ARCH

I am constantly impressed with Zach’s ability to translate a poorly worded request into a logical working solution. Zach’s response time is uncommonly fast. His keen attention to details is one of the reasons we continue to use Zach for all our Salesforce/FormAssembly projects. Our entire team just loves working with Zach.
