Meet the Carnival Guy
Created by a sixteen year old
In 2010, a 14-year-old boy named Zach had a vision to bring happiness to those in need. He decided to organize a carnival for the homeless in his community, and little did he know, this act of kindness would spark a need for a new party rental company in northeast Kansas.
As Zach's carnival brought smiles to faces and laughter to the community, people began to call him the "Carnival Guy." The name stuck, and a beloved character and business was born.

🎪 Zach – The Founder & Chief Visionary Officer
Zach is the driving national force behind the Carnival Guy brand. With a lifelong passion for premium event production, entertainment logistics, and experiential design, Zach built Carnival Guy from the ground up to solve a massive corporate pain point: the boring company picnic.
Recognizing that large-scale enterprise events were constantly suffering from low turnout and vendor management fatigue, Zach pioneered the "Turnkey Festival Footprint" model. He shifted the industry focus away from simple backyard drop-offs and directed it toward high-capacity, grand-scale productions that incorporate massive 100-foot obstacle courses, authentic midway game booths, and structural weatherproofing.
As our national founder, Zach oversees fleet innovation, safety compliance standards, and the strategic expansion of our premium corporate services. When you see a massive, high-throughput attraction running seamlessly on your campus, you are witnessing Zach’s strict operational blueprint in action.
