I'm Trevor Zalkind, a jack-of-all-trades digital communications specialist.

Here are a few of my specialties, but I’m interested in all-kinds of topics.

Digital Communications and Web Design

Project Management and Strategic Planning

Photography and Videography

Community Programming and Stakeholder Relations

Program design and analytics? Count me in. Irrigation techniques? Yup. Storytelling? Yes sir/madam. Llama sweaters? Irrationally so. Spanish? Por Supuesto. Mountaineering/skiing/camping? I am from Colorado…

I am a well-rounded human being: a photographer, former ranch hand, traveler, Eagle Scout, citizen diplomat, comedian, and someone who will always try that new thing.
