At just 15 years old, Zack Collie’s life changed forever after a spinal cord injury left him a C4 quadriplegic. But his story didn’t stop there—it was just the beginning of a powerful journey of resilience, purpose, and faith.
Today, Zack is an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in Yorba Linda, CA, providing counseling both in-person and online. He’s also the voice behind Quadlife with Zack on YouTube, where he shares real, motivational insights into life with a spinal cord injury.
Zack’s journey has taken him far beyond limitations—earning his bachelor’s and master’s degrees, building a career in counseling, becoming a husband and a father, and even pushing boundaries through adaptive adventures like skydiving, scuba diving, and target shooting with adaptive equipment.
On this episode, we talk with Zack about:
➡️ How his injury led him toward a life of purpose in counseling
➡️ The role of faith and resilience in his therapy work
➡️ Becoming a husband and celebrating the birth of his daughter
➡️ Adventures that redefined what’s possible with adaptive sports
➡️ Using YouTube and digital platforms to raise awareness and inspire others
Zack reminds us that independence, joy, and impact are still possible after life-changing injuries—sometimes in ways you never imagined.
