About

I've spent my life at the intersection of spectacle and story, from juggling and tumbling in the ring as a child to producing some of the world's most celebrated circus productions.

As Artistic & Executive Director of Circus Flora in St. Louis, I lead one of America's most beloved one-ring circuses, known for narrative-driven productions that blend extraordinary physical feats with genuine emotional resonance.

My path has been anything but ordinary. After a B.A. in Economics from Harvard and a J.D. from the University of Wisconsin, I briefly practiced corporate law in New York before following my true calling back to the big top.

I work globally as a producer and consultant, bringing the same mix of creative vision and business rigor to every project I touch.

Away from the ring, I live in New York City with my wife, our two kids and Ramona, our blind basset hound. I was also a professional ultimate frisbee player, but now I'm just a fan.
