About Me
Zachary Klosko is a Richmond-based audio engineer and event producer.
He currently works at Hope Church in Richmond, VA's West End, training and leading teams of production volunteers for Sunday morning and student services. He graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in Digital Journalism, only to find his calling behind the wires, not behind the podium.
He got his first Washington Post article published in October of 2020 about Del. Elizabeth Guzman’s, D-Woodbridge, efforts to secure paid leave for those needing to quarantine due to the Coronavirus. The same story was published by the Associated Press and Virginia Public Media; follow-up stories were published in various outlets throughout Virginia.
He has spent ample time redesigning production workflows for local non-profits. He led the efforts to prepare WRIR for remote playback during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing the station to stay operational after a volunteer contracted the disease, a groundbreaking achievement for a station used to having volunteers in studio 21 hours of every day. He also added Bitfocus Companion to Hope Church's production workflow, simplifying tasks for volunteers during church services. He built and maintains multiple modules for Bitfocus Companion, including ones for ETC's Echo system, Allen & Heath's AHM, and Obsidian Systems' Onyx lighting software.
Outside of the A/V world, he likes baking bread from scratch, biking through the city, and blasting disco house in the shower. If you want to buy him a coffee, he likes dark roasts and vanilla lattes.
