Whiz Kid: Meet Zane Roghaar, MI's Teen Tech 'Go-To' Guy
A weekly feature to highlight the accomplishments of Mercer Island's younger residents.
For our inaugural column, we received suggestions and looked at several individual kids, local youth groups, teens, and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments. And we think we've found someone who has just the right mix of community spirit, generosity, and intellect to name Mercer Island Patch Whiz Kid.
Without further ado...

Accomplishment: Teachers having trouble with increasingly high-tech classrooms have unofficially designated this technology whiz as in-house tech support.
Why this is Awesome: Ever since he was old enough to walk, Zane has been enthralled with computers. He has been helping the residents of Mercer Island and his schools overcome technology challenges since he was nine years old. He installs Islanders' systems and also fixes them when they fail. His love of computers has benefited many Mercer Islanders in having a "go to" guy when they need help. Zane is kind and patient with our older folks and can hold his own with our IT "pro" residents as well.
