Growing up in South Louisiana, I quickly developed a passion for the outdoors and everything that surrounded it. I knew at an early age that having a profession in the outdoor industry would be something that I would strive for.

My wife and I reside on the Southern slope of Pikes Peak in Colorado where we have 1 little boy and absolutely love living in the mountains. Outside of real estate, I enjoy my time as a hunting guide, spending time with the family, hiking, and wetting an occasional fishing line.

At my core, I enjoy helping others as well as the outdoors and through that I combined both and became a mountain real estate agent.

My belief in the business is to be able to go above and beyond what anyone would expect and treat my clients just as I would expect the same.

Let me put my experience and willingness to please to help you buy or sell your mountain property.

Zack Wiese is a Brokers Associate with Hayden Outdoors in Colorado and Wyoming. Zack is a Colorado native who loves to hunt, fish and enjoy the outdoors. Zack found his love and appreciation for the outdoors at a young age thanks to his dad. Together they would take weekend fishing and hunting trips every chance they got. After going down to Arizona to play college baseball he decided to return to Colorado to finish his degree at Colorado State University. Soon after graduating, Zack took a job with Hayden Outdoors, where he combined his love for the outdoors with his growing interest and knowledge of real estate. Zack has a strong commitment to his clients and prides himself on finding out what his buyers and sellers truly want. An avid outdoorsman, Zack is involved in conservation and organizations to promote and appreciate the land he loves. This aptitude gives Zack a great background to represent hunting, fishing and ranch properties for both buyers and sellers. In his off-time you can almost always find Zack exploring new areas with his binoculars, bow or fishing rod in his hand. Zack also likes to journey down to San Diego each year to take a fishing trip on his grandfather’s boat where they catch marlin, tuna and halibut, while spending valuable time with family. "Zack, took the ball and ran with it; he handled issues like a pro. Bottom line, the guy sells property." -- Pat Somers (Elkhorn Cabin Owner)
