Paragon Media Strategies adds audio imaging producer Zach Gilltrap. He's provided sound design creative services to radio stations, networks, studios and including Paragon clients for 20+ years. Gilltrap will now provide Audio Imaging Production to select Paragon clients while continuing fulltime as the in-house producer at Colorado Public Radio, which operates NPR and News/Talk KCFR-FM, Classical KVOD-FM and Music Discovery Indie 102.3/Denver along with a statewide network of owned and affiliated stations.

Gilltrap said, "It's not that I'm well-tanned, I'm just actually blushing because Mike Henry and the team at Paragon Media Strategies team invited me on board their lifelong Music Discovery and Branding Mission. To say I'm stoked would be putting it mildly."

Paragon CEO Mike Henry added, "I've worked with Zach at many Paragon client stations over the years because he is the most versatile, creative and innovative imaging producer in the country. He provides ground-breaking imaging every time he delivers a new production package and he can do for any format. His addition gives Paragon even more resources to help them deliver compelling radio to their growing audiences. I'd also like to thank Colorado Public Radio for sharing his immense talents with Paragon clients."

Gilltrap started at age 19 as a production intern at legendary KNAC in Los Angeles, and since then has providing sound design creative services for 91X/San Diego, 92X/Denver, KTCL/Denver, XTRA Sports 690/San Diego, The Bridge/Kansas City, KBPI/Denver and their successful morning show "The Locker Room," WWDB-FM Hot Talk/Philadelphia, NV89/Reno, KXT/Dallas, The Colorado Sound/Ft. Collins, America's first JACK FM station KJAC/Denver, The Atlanta Falcons Radio Network, KFOG/San Francisco and more.

Since 2007 Zach has also helped create and implement sound effects, voice-over and music for clients and award-winning studios such as Mass FX Media, Microsoft Azure, Cisco/Avnet, Six Flags, Maverick Records, Excedrin Migraine, Think TV (PBS), Taco Bell and hiring and coaching voice-overs worldwide for Rosetta Stone.
