Intro

Hello and welcome! This is a fantastic starting point if you’ve been sent here from one of my social media profiles. Check out the list below for various links.

Introduction…

My name is Zack and I’m best friends with Oreo the parrot. Together we’ve been slowly building a community online which is meant to provide positive change to the world. I’m a college graduate who started Intrinsic Usability, a company building accessible tools and services for all.

I’m a childhood cancer survivor and as a result of this I’m totally blind. Feel free to check out my background and life stories. My visual impairment has highlighted a massive gap in equal access for those of us who are disabled. I’m working to close this gap by advocating and educating those who will listen.

“Tell us about Oreo!”

Oreo is an amazing Red-lored Amazon parrot who I rescued in 2003. The day he was born I was hand feeding him which caused him to imprint on me. You can find his origin story here.

Oreo is missing his right foot due to an accident within the incubator and as a result the breeder was going to euthanize him. The breeders exact words, “Disabled birds don’t make profit.” So of course my Dad and I rescued him and I’ve raised him ever since.

Gifts and Donations

If you’d like to help support us we have several easy options. You can grab yourself some Zack and Oreo merch which helps pay rent and sets aside money for building our parrot sanctuary. The Amazon wish list is a great way to give Oreo toys and treats. It also helps us with day to day supplies and gear. We also have Paypal and Venmo so you can send money fast and securely.

A percentage of each transaction gets set aside to help build our parrot sanctuary which will serve as a forever home for Oreo and I.
