CREATIVE DIRECTOR • CHOREOGRAPHER • MUSIC DIRECTOR • PRODUCER • PROJECT MANAGER • COLLABORATOR • CONSULTANT

Hello and Welcome! I’m Ben! Originally from Western Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh, where my passion for the arts ignited, I now call NYC home. I bring a warm hometown vibe infused with the vibrant energy of the city to everything I do.

As a multifaceted creative, my roles include Director, Choreographer, Music Director, Producer, Project Manager, Consultant and Creative Collaborator. With a keen eye for detail and exceptional talent, I thrive on bringing art from the page to the stage. My work ranges from intimate productions with 3 performers to large-scale spectacles featuring over 200 artists. Several of these projects earned recognition with global nominations and awards and all of these opportunities allowed me to learn from some of the best visionaries, artists and production companies in the business!

I’ve brought art to life globally in various settings, from Industrials, One-offs and Regional Theatres to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, International All-Inclusive Hotels and Resorts, Theme Parks, Parades, Cruise Ships, and National and International Tours.

I’m excited to collaborate with you and embark on our journey together. Let’s create and build something extraordinary!
