When struggling researching for another young entrepreneur, I remembered someone from my years in High School. Zech Wu, but more commonly known as Wu has made a great name for himself in the photography and videography field in western Pennsylvania. Wu’s story starts at a small catholic High School named Vincentian. In Zech was a class of 2020 graduate, and that was the final graduating class of the high school. Vincentian had a very successful basketball team, and Zech was the team manager for them. My connection to Wu starts here. When Vincentian closed in 2020 a few of the basketball players from their team transferred to Bishop Canevin (my high school). These players became some of my best friends, and I am still friends with them to this day. In 2022 when my high school basketball team was making a run at a Pennsylvania state championship our coach hired someone named Wu. I remembered him from the very successful Vincentian team, and he became our official team photographer. After that season, Zech attended the University of Pittsburgh and started filming Football and Basketball for the school. His work is truly amazing. Wu separates himself from many photographers due to his quality. In western PA, photographers have been on the rise. I see more and more at every sporting event, and this is due to Wu’s success. They witnessed how successful he was and wanted to make a name for themselves as well. After graduating from Pitt, Wu got a job as the head photographer for the University of Arizona’s Men’s Basketball team! As you can see this personal connection made me think of Wu to write about his journey as a young entrepreneur.
Wow, this is inspiring, especially as a person who plays basketball, I know how hard it is to get better and how much time you need to put in. Awesome to see this happen, well deserved!
