Zach Degnan Degnan Design Build Remodel

Design Assistant Zach Degnan continues the family legacy at Degnan Design-Build-Remodel. The oldest member of the third generation, let’s meet him!

What are your hobbies? I like to tinker. I reflect that with my hobbies, such as building computers and working with software.

Where did you grow up? I grew up right here in Deforest, WI. I’ve moved twice with my family, but we always have stayed within Deforest.

What’s your family like? Well, I am the oldest of 6 siblings, 4 of whom are adopted. In fact, 3 of my siblings were adopted in September 2020 from Latvia. So I live in a very full house!

Tell us about your Education: I’m a 2021 graduate of DeForest Area High School, and am studying Architectural Technology and Business at Madison College (MATC).

Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear

What’s your favorite quote? It’s a tie, and both are from Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear.

 -  “Speed and Power!” 

 -  “Sometimes my genius is, it’s almost frightening” 


How about your favorite movie? Honestly, any of the first 6 Star Wars movies!


And what’s your favorite TV show? It’s Lost by JJ Abrahms. My mom tells me that she used to watch it with me when I was a baby, but I don’t remember that of course. I found it recently and can’t get enough of it!

Will you share about your values and faith? I’m a Constitutionalist and a Christian, but Christian above all else. I’d say I’m very avid in my faith.


What type of music do you like? I listen to quite a bit of music. There’s no real genre that I stick to, I just listen to songs I like. Some of my favorites include 

 -  Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked, Cage The Elephant

 -  Feel Good Inc., Gorillaz

 -  Get Lucky, Daft Punk

 -  Shepherd of Fire, Avenged Sevenfold

And do you play any musical instruments? I was involved in my school band from 6th grade all the way to my senior year. In the band, I played the French Horn and marching horn. Now I like to play the trumpet.

What do you like to do in your free time? In my free time, I especially like to go on the Wisconsin River with my family, as we have a boat and two jet skis. I also like to go to the gun range and enjoy target practice.
