Zouhary was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio as the son of Lebanese immigrants.[1] He received a B.A. from Dartmouth College in 1973. He received a J.D. from the University of Toledo College of Law in 1976.

He was in private practice in Toledo, Ohio from 2004 to 2005 with the law firm of Fuller & Henry and Robison, Curphey & O'Connell from 1976 to 1999. He was senior vice president and general counsel, S.E. Johnson Companies, Inc. from 2000 to 2003. He was briefly a judge on the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas from 2005 to 2006.
