With his experience as technical director for BYU performing groups Synthesis, Ballroom Dance Company, and Theatre Ballet, Troy D. Streeter is well suited to be Performing Arts Management’s newest artist manager. He replaces Jonathon Wood, who was recently appointed associate director of the Global Management Center in the Marriott School of Management.Troy was raised in central Illinois in a family heavily immersed in the arts, which allowed him to gain exposure to and perform in bands, orchestras, choirs, and live theater productions.

Along with working as technical director for various groups, Troy served as tour manager for the Synthesis tour to Brazil in 2013.Troy is looking forward to working closer with the students in his new job. “I’m excited to interact with them on tour and to see them grow and succeed,” he says. “That will be the most fulfilling.”Troy and his wife, Rachel, have five children.
