Zampier has been a Marianist brother for almost forty years and resides on campus in the Casa Maria Marianist Community. He has worked as an archivist, transferring Marianist photographs and historical records from around the country to the National Marianist Archives building adjacent to St. Mary’s. Zampier also has extensive experience as a graphic designer and artist, having worked as an artist’s assistant for 10 years at the Marianist Press and at a publishing company in Utica, New York.

But he’s been constructing paper cranes even longer — since he was in fifth grade.
