was born in Manila, Philippines with mixed Malay-Chinese-Spanish blood. He moved to the dynamic Hong Kong in 1990, seeking greener pastures and a new way of life. Zech’s initial work was in the service sector combining his skills in Information and Communications Technology (ICT – software/hardware) in the manufacturing/business sector. Thereafter, he focused on integrating ICT in the business/education sector.

In 2019, searching for deeper meaning and purpose and a more integral perspective and heeding the irresistible call of the Mother: “I invite you to the Great Adventure.”, Zech ventured to Auroville, where he resides today. By 2000, he was working full time for five years with a preschool Montessori Group integrating computer lessons with the children/students and setting up computer software/ hardware and networking systems for the business side of the company. After which, he moved to and progressed in teaching, research and preparing curricula in Math, Science, ICT Computers (hardware and software and Game-based Learning) and Arts & Crafts in primary and secondary schools. 

Zach shares with us: “An existential quest is a progressive process and differs from one unique individual to the next. I eventually integrated my complex spiritual practice and life experiences with the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, which have been ongoing for more than 10 years now.”
