He spent his career in staffing, and in 2010 co-founded Eco-Staff LLC, with his friend and business partner Harry Black.

Outside of work Zandy enjoyed many hobbies, and his passion was for all things offroad. Zandy loved rock crawling and racing, and in 2018 bought his first race car and started Rufus Racing, an off-road racing team.
