Paco AlfaroZierten

Facility Planner




Paco joined MAKERS following his graduation from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where he was very involved in several planning and design student organizations. Through his studies, he developed design and analysis skills that will support his role on our federal facility planning team. He is particularly drawn to collaborative tasks and, with a passion for planning, is eager to immerse himself in the work.

In his free time, Paco likes to cook big dinners for friends and family before watching a Godzilla movie to end the day right. He is also a big fan of playing the Warhammer tabletop game with his friends and loves painting the figures while listening to a good audiobook.
