Personal Life
Zach and his wife Kim have been married for 26 years and have a son Weston Wamp, a small businessman in Chattanooga, and a daughter, Coty, a law student at the University of Tennessee. In 2012, Weston attempted to win his father's old seat from incumbent Chuck Fleischmann, but lost in the Republican primary.
In April 2003, the Associated Press reported that Wamp was one of six congressman living at C Street Center, a Capitol Hill townhouse subsidized by The Family, a national Christian organization. On July 10, 2009, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported that Wamp admitted in an interview that he and his fellow residents at C Street all pledged that they won't talk about their private living arrangements, adding that he intends to honor that pledge. When Rachel Maddow reported the story on her show, Wamp complained, but the Knoxville News Sentinel reported that Wamp didn't call them to correct his comment. Maddow responded strongly to Wamp's complaints on air.

“He hadn’t known me fifteen minutes, and yet he was ... ready to talk ... I was still to learn that Munshin, like many people from the capital, could talk openly about his personal life while remaining a dream of espionage in his business operations.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but the ignominy, the humiliation we feel that we must be what we are without any choice in the matter, and that this humiliation is seen by everyone.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers. Yet it is admirable to profess because it was once admirable to live. To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
