Before leading multi-million-dollar campaigns, Boynton was immersed in the creative heartbeat of Broadway. A native of Manchester, NH, he grew up learning the value of hard work, humility, and community—qualities that would later define his leadership in philanthropy. Collaborating with Mark Schoenfeld, creator of the award-winning Broadway show Brooklyn the Musical, he honed his understanding of storytelling and connection.

“Theatre taught me that emotion drives everything,” he says. “The same empathy that moves an audience to tears can move a donor to action.”
