About Steve Zakszewski
For the past 30+ years, I have earned my living in a variety of fields, doing whatever was needed to keep me busy and money flowing in. I've worked as a stagehand, lighting shop manager, technical director for theaters and a nightclub/event space/karaoke lounge, lighting designer and technical director for tours including a Russian circus, I've authored a book and a novella, driven trucks and celebrities, done guerrilla marketing, supervised crews, coordinated logistics, hauled gear, written technical riders, and even been on stage in shows as a performer.I've been tossed into impossible situations at the last minute and succeeded. I'm a cat on my feet, always landing, albeit not always gracefully but always successfully. I'm intelligent, empathetic, can express myself, possess superb customer service skills, and am a free-thinker who's not afraid to ask questions and try new things. I will work my tail off for you provided my efforts are appreciated and you hold up your end of the bargain. I will speak my mind- bluntly at times- but I will always be 100% honest but know how to temper that honesty with clients. Hiring managers always say they want people who "think outside the box". I believe in setting the box on fire and shoving it off a cliff. As an example, I have modified lighting equipment to greatly increase its functionality and road-worthiness.While I might not be the best at any one thing, I can delve into esoteric tasks with relish, such as finding thousands of feet of vintage model train tracks or calculating the safe speed for a rotating display for a $25 million sculpture for a casino in Macau. Toss a subject at me and I will research it to a fair-thee-well to learn all the ins and outs of it.I'm the sort of person who will be a tremendous addition to your venture and able to swing between a number of tasks, pitching in wherever I am most needed.Let's talk.
Listed skills include Stage Management, Lighting Design, Rigging, Travel Planning, and 32 others.
