About
Charles (Chaz) Zanaty
Beginning at just 12 years old, I always found an interest in Lighting and Sound equipment, serving in my local church helped influence this new found hobby. Over the past 6 years, I have gained a handful of knowledge and passion for working in the professional AV industry! My biggest dream is to faithfully serve my local community with my niche passion, and to have a team of awesome professional leaders behind me!
I have experience in several different ecosystems of show tech. For lighting I am extensively experienced in Jands Vista, ETC, and I know my way around other console's including GrandMA1, GrandMA2, Onyx, and HOG series.
For sound control I have experience with a handfull of consoles, including Yamaha CL,CSD, and QL Series, Behringer X32 / Wing, Midas Pro Series, Allen & Heath Avantis and QU - Series boards.
For my design and Pre-Viz I recently upgraded to Capture from using wysiwyg, and I have some experience in Vectorworks.
More about me
While I love working in the AV world, I have also discovered another passion... Food!
I have worked in several restaraunts ranging from Fast Food to Mid-Class Dine in, and am now a manager of a local fast food chain.
Outside of work and showtime, I love going to church, hanging out with friends, playing some video games, and I also do a little bit of photography.
Another interest of mine is music, I love getting to play drums, a little bit of guitar, and I am learning piano at the moment.
I also quite enjoy trying to sing in my car, emphasis on "trying."
