Zach Fischel
After gaining experience in marketing, radio, and the areas of artist relations & development through his work at Gasoline Alley/MCA Records, Zach founded Cornerstone RAS/Skunk Records in 1992, a label that released over 100 independent records in a 12 year span & preserved the life of reggae punk legends Sublime forever.

Since then, the label has had over 60 releases in the past 10 years from bands such as Dr. Dog, Generationals, He’s My Brother She’s My Sister, The Teeth & more. Generationals' first record was a synch licensing hit generating over $1 million in synch revenue. Park the Van Management was created in 2009 & is now home to Pigeon John, BRONCHO, Scott H. Biram as well as newcomers Winter & Chief Scout. Zach runs the Cornerstone RAS & Park the Van Records catalogs, helps run the Park the Van Management company, consults on the RIVI TV & Film licensing company & created Park the Van Publishing.
