Sports Nutrition with Zac C.

Self

I’ve been building my independent contracting business for years now, and have found myself doing all kinds of work for an array of people up and down the west coast. Excellent interpersonal skills, time management, attentiveness and client relations all play into my success as an independent contractor. Most often I am tasked to do things physical labor focused, such as assembling furniture or helping people to move home locations, which requires me to not only be energetic and outgoing but to also maintain that energy through potentially rigorous manual labor. I’ve done everything from set up small furniture for families in Washington, to clean commercial bathrooms in Oregon, all the way to assembling full blown wardrobes for people in California. I have spent a lot of time working closely with families in need of my expertise and it has really helped me to hone my craft.

Conscious Crew, Safety Matters Crew

Conscious Crew was a Harm Reduction team for the largest dance music production company in the Pacific Northwest, and as a whole they saw to it that patrons maintained safe practices by working hand in hand with medical professionals. Dealing with potential emergency situations, such as severe dehydration or overdoses, Conscious Crew drastically decreased the chance of life threatening situations simply by providing water and a helpful hand where needed. As an Operations Manager with Conscious Crew I oversaw radio distribution and break schedule enforcing for the largest dance music events in the Pacific Northwest. Team size varied event to event, but for the larger shows like those held at the Gorge Amphitheater, such as Paradiso Festival which garnered around 30,000 people annually, a 300 person strong Crew with upwards of 150 radios meant a lot of management of batteries and constant communication was required. In the Dispatcher role, which I worked at Paradiso Festival as well as Above and Beyond Group Therapy 250, I worked side by side with professional medical dispatchers to weed through the massive amount of radio traffic coming in from our Crew and identify true emergencies. With the sheer amount of people all partying out in the blistering temperatures and being potentially inebriated, it was critical that communication in the trailer was clear and concise, and that no mistakes were made that could negatively effect the response times of the EMT’s in the field. As a Foxtrot I was tasked with being a roaming lead, helping relieve Team Leads for their breaks as well as providing them with radio batteries provided by Operations. Being constantly available to respond to any emergency situations was intrinsic to the role, and the Foxtrot position was critical to the success of the team by keeping communication constantly flowing.
