Zac Koons

The Rev. Zac Koons is rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Austin, Texas. He attended Wheaton College and Duke Divinity School.

Zac was born in Indiana, grew up in Arkansas, and is still surprised that he’s ended up in Texas — and still more that he loves it. On a day off, Zac likes to hike, climb, and take pictures. To blow off steam, Zac plays soccer and video games. He’s a passionate supporter of Duke basketball, Arsenal Football Club, and tacos. He’s married to Anna, a global health policy nerd, with whom he shares the deep joy of living with a crazy dog named Watson.
