Zach Nieland is an associate actuary.

Zach joined the firm in June of 2007. Since that time, Zach earned his Associate designation of the Society of Actuaries (quite a feat!). Zach's background includes OPEB actuarial valuations, defined benefit actuarial valuations and administration, non-discrimination compliance, computer systems design and operations, and software development. Zach has worked with Greg to develop and maintain our OPEB actuarial valuation system, used in conjunction with ASC-715 and GASB 74/75 reporting.

Zach and his wife, Melissa, live in Belton, Texas, where Melissa practices medicine. Together, they are raising a very special family: two daughters, Shelby and Audrey are in grade school, plus David and Jonathan, twin brothers who joined the family in 2019.
