BIO

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Cody grew up on a ranch surrounded by cows, chickens, horses, rabbits and even pigs. He competed with his family in Rodeo events before trading his cowboy boots in for a career in theatre.



Throughout the years, Cody has been fortunate enough to work in various live entertainment mediums. Career highlights include the Broadway productions of Freestyle Love Supreme (Production Stage Manager) and Hamilton (Assistant Stage Manager), as well as being one of the DGA Stage Managers for the 2019 Tony Awards and 2019 MTV Video Music Awards. Cody has also worked on live televised musicals for NBC (Jesus Christ Superstar Live!, Hairspray Live! & The Wiz Live!), various productions with Cirque du Soleil, Porgy and Bess at the Metropolitan Opera, and countless shows in Regional and Off-Broadway houses.

Cody holds a BFA in Stage Management from Webster Conservatory. He has a passion for paying it forward and providing space for students and early career professionals. His favorite color is Red, he loves a onesie, he can recite the entirety of The Little Rascals movie and he still doesn’t know how to swim. His favorite musicals are Evita and Dreamgirls.
