After a heartbreaking departure from Gabby and Rachel's season of "The Bachelorette," Zach Shallcross' journey to find love continues when he steps in as leading man for the 27th season of "The Bachelor." The endearing 26-year-old tech executive from Anaheim Hills, Calif., stole Bachelor Nation's heart with his quiet charm, wit and openness to finding lasting love. A family man at heart, Shallcross splits time between Texas and Orange County. His parents -- who have been married over 30 years -- have shown him what true love looks like, and he strives to find a love that echoes the standard they have set for him.
