Who is Jack Kreuzer?

Born the youngest of three in Buffalo, NY, Jack was raised in a world of sports, music, and performing.

​

GROWING UP

As the son of parents who met while working for the Buffalo Sabres, Jack's love for hockey and Buffalo sports was second nature. Playing soccer was a joy for Jack in his youth, playing year-round through his teenage years, while working in the local sports scene relentlessly.

Watching his brilliantly talented brother and sister both perform on stage throughout his childhood introduced Jack to an expression of creativity he otherwise may not have known about. Add in the fact that his family loved to sing along to old vinyl records of Ray Charles and Bill Haley & His Comets, a life of performing was destined for Jack Kreuzer from a very young age.

HIGH SCHOOL

While attending Cheektowaga Central High School, Jack was a member of the soccer, baseball, and track & field teams. He was also sports anchor on the morning announcements, and performed in musicals at school and with local youth and professional theatres.

Jack built an unrivaled gameday environment as Public Address Announcer and DJ for football and basketball game at CCHS.

Once featured on WIVB Channel 4 News, Jack began to work various sports across all of WNY at the HS, DIII, DII, and DI levels.

RETURNING HOME

As the COVID Pandemic hit, Jack returned home and dove head first into the Buffalo broadcasting waters, working as the play-by-play voice of D'Youville University, while still covering Syracuse Hoops in Spring 2021.

By Fall of 2021, Jack was calling every scholastic sport at D'Youville (DII), Niagara University (DI), and WNY Athletics (HS).

Not having lost his passion for performing and musical theatre, Jack returned to the stage, earning an ARTIE Award Nomination (Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Musical) for his portrayal of 'Pharaoh' in Lancaster Opera House's Spring 2022 production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Fall of 2022 saw Jack make his Buffalo music scene debut, performing alongside singer/performer Katy Miner at historic Sportsman's Tavern, PAUSA Art House, and again at Musicalfare's Cabaret space, all while covering high school and collegiate sports across the WNY area.
