In 2016, Zukowsky began his professional cycling career independently despite not owning a road bike the year prior.[4] He placed fourth overall in the Tour de l'Abitibi, won a stage of the Ronde des Vallées, and finished fifth in the Killington Stage Race's first stage. He also competed in the National Junior Road Race Championships, placing third.[5] Silber Pro Cycling Team signed Zukowsky following the 2016 cycling season, making him the first 18-year-old to be on the team.[6]
