“I got involved in the family business when I was about five years old. My father would take me to work on the weekends with him -- I learned to count by counting tickets.”
Kenneth Feld is a second generation member of family-owned Feld Entertainment, a live entertainment company that brings audiences sell-out shows including Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus, Disney on Ice and Monster Jam among many others.
Kenneth's grandfather Irvin Feld acquired Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey in 1967, which marked the beginning of Feld Entertainment. Over the next 48 years, the company would expand to include an impressive variety of live entertainment franchises and an additional four Feld members spanning two generations on the leadership team. Kenneth joined "The Greatest Show on Earth" in 1970 and began learning everything he could about the circus from his father. In 1981, Kenneth Feld created Walt Disney's World on Ice after securing the license to produce and present Disney-themed ice shows (the name was changed to Disney on Ice in 1998.)
Nicole Feld was the first third-generation family member to join in 2001, and Alana Feld joined two years later in 2003. In 2009, Nicole and Alana joined forces to produce the 140th edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey, marking the first time a sister team produced the show. Just one year later in 2010, the final third-generation family member, Juliette Feld joined the team.
