On the record
Zach Klein was born in Rochester, New York, on September 26, 1982. His family moved from Buffalo to Fort Wayne when he was eleven, and he was educated in the city — Summit Middle School in Aboite Township and Bishop Luers High School — before studying studio art at Wake Forest University. In 2004 he co-founded and designed Vimeo, the video-sharing site, and was a partner in Connected Ventures, the holding company behind CollegeHumor (founded in 1999 by Josh Abramson and Ricky Van Veen) and its sister property BustedTees; the holding company was sold to IAC in 2006. He later created Cabin Porn, a widely followed celebration of small cabins, co-founded the children's creativity platform DIY.org, and serves as chief executive of Dwell, the design magazine and marketplace.
