He graduated from Saint Anselm College (Manchester, New Hampshire) in 1989 with a degree in Political Science and played 4 seasons of varsity NCAA DII soccer as a midfielder/forward for the Hawks.

Zid started coaching as the Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach at his alma mater, Saint Anselm College, immediately after graduation in 1989. In 1991, he was appointed the Head Women’s Soccer Coach and also joined the Saint Anselm men’s ice hockey coaching staff as an Assistant Hockey Coach.

In 1995, Zid began his Siena Heights career by coaching the men’s and women’s soccer teams. From 1995-2000, he coached both teams during the same season. At the end of the 2000 season, he handed the reigns of the women’s program to his then assistant coach, Scott Oliver and remained solely with the men’s team. Oliver continues as the women’s soccer coach today.

During his stint as the SHU women’s soccer coach (95-00), his teams won four Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) championships and competed in the NAIA regional Tournament in each of those seasons.
