This week’s Zapponian Spotlight might look familiar to you, and for good reason. Christopher, better known as Gonzo, has graced quite a few of our funny Zappos TV videos. He works for our awesome AV team as our in-house culture videographer, which means Gonzo has one of the coolest jobs around: capturing Zappos Culture on video!

Gonzo is originally from Puerto Rico and has been making skate films for about eight years. He’s currently working on his third feature-length skate film.

We asked him the usual ZS questions, and here are his answers:

Pick 3 words to describe your personal style.

L: Feminine, Classic and Understated

Who is your favorite musician or band?

L: I love Ben Folds (thanks to my husband, his #1 fan) and The Black Keys.  I also love ‘80s and ‘90s music that bring back great memories.

Name 3 things you never leave home without?

L: My cell phone, sunglasses and a purse (my outfit is just not complete without a purse)

If you could have dinner with one famous person, who would it be?

L: I wanted to write something profound here, but honestly, it would be Hugh Jackman because he is really nice to look at and I love his accent.

What’s the weirdest thing to ever happen to you?

L: When I was 16, I was at the park with a friend and saw a momma squirrel with about a dozen of her babies. We thought they were so cute so we got a little closer to get a better look.  That was when the cute little squirrels turned on us and starting chasing us across the park!  I am sure people thought we were crazy running for our lives away from cute, fuzzy little squirrels, but it really was a very scary experience.  To this day I will not get close to one and think that they are all out to get humans. 

What’s your favorite part about working at Zappos?

L: I love that there is always something fun and interesting going on, there really is never a dull day at Zappos.  It may be a Super Hero parade, Tu-Tu Tuesday or something simple like lunch with my team, but every day is a fun adventure here!
