David Zaentz is the founder of ezProduction, a premier experiential production and consulting company specializing in bold, high-touch activations for iconic brands. With over 15 years of industry experience, David has led culturally resonant, logistically complex events for clients such as Bacardi, Mercedes-Benz, Pacifico, and Corona—executing at major tentpoles including Bonnaroo and the US Open of Surfing.
David began his career at ESPN New York, spending five years in event production and content operations, and contributing to the New York Rangers Event Presentation Team, building a strong foundation in live sports and entertainment. Before founding ezProduction, he spent nearly a decade with the iHeartRadio Events team, overseeing large-scale activations and operations for the Jingle Ball Tour, iHeartRadio Music Festival, iHeartRadio Music Awards, and other national tentpoles.
A New Jersey native now based in Florida, David blends East Coast grit with a coastal mindset, bringing full-spectrum expertise across creative strategy, site planning, permitting, fabrication, logistics, budgeting, and live show-calling. Known for delivering high-impact experiences with operational excellence, David is a trusted partner to some of the world’s leading brands.
Part of the Zaentz family legacy (including Oscar-winning producers Saul and Paul Zaentz), David often collaborates with his wife, Elizabeth, an accomplished event and live broadcast producer, to deliver seamless, end-to-end productions.
When he’s not on-site, you’ll find David and Elizabeth at the beach, snowboarding, playing hockey, or exploring the outdoors with their rescue dogs, Harper and Daisy—the inspiration behind his side project, Dave’s Dog Adventures.
