One of six children, he spent the greater part of his life in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. On September 28, 1893, he married Anna Katherine Scheuer. Six children were born of this marriage: Arnold S., Gerald S., Eugene, Mercedes, Edith, and Berenice.

Zander held various civic and public offices while living in Two Rivers. In 1896, he was elected an alderman of that city and he served on the city council at various times during the 1920s and 1930s. A member of the Two Rivers Transportation Commission, he was chairman of the regulation committee. In 1938, he served on the board of directors of the Two Rivers Hospital. In 1919 he ran unsuccessfully for mayor.

Zander was a member of the Wisconsin Socialist Party throughout most of his life. He ran for several posts at the state level on the Socialist ticket: Insurance Commissioner (1902); State Senator (1914); and Secretary of State (1932). None of his state-wide campaigns
