ALUMNI PROFILES
I am a full-time freelancing audio engineer and production manager. I spend most of the year on the road with a variety of different acts. You can typically find me behind a console on stage left, mixing ears for the artist and the band, or out mixing at FOH. I’m often brought out on tours as the production manager, so throughout the week I’m working with venues and advancing shows. A lot of emails and phone calls, and a lot of coordinating labor and directing the load in/out on day of show.
This past summer I spent five weeks in an advanced tutorial hanging and tuning PA .Some of the acts I’ve toured with include:
Sara Evans, Phillip Phillips, Matt Maher, Michael W Smith, Lindsey Stirling
Abigial La Bianca
I have been in the music industry since 2006 after I completed the CMC (semester 7) and graduated from Montreat College. I quickly hit the road within months of graduating and haven’t stopped since. For the last 12 years of my almost 20 year career, I have toured with country music superstar Scotty McCreery. Not only have I provided the musical foundation for Scotty as his bass player, but I also keep everything held together on the road as Scotty's Tour Manager.
I have a large list of credits as a session bass player, producer and mix engineer.

I am the Quality Control (QC) Supervisor at PixelFLEX, a leading LED Manufacturer based in Nashville. We specialize in offering creative solutions, reliable products, and dependable services for churches, tours, and more! My role is specifically to oversee the QC process to guarantee each LED wall meets our high standards before installation or production. I am still a technician at heart, and I travel to repair, install, and showcase our LED throughout the country.

Clayton serves as the AVL Director at Alliance Bible Fellowship in Boone, NC. You can find him running front of house sound every Sunday, which is funny because he spent nearly a decade touring out of Nashville as a lighting designer. That background, combined with experience at a TV station serves him well with the other letters in his title. Alliance is equipped with a full broadcast suite for live-streaming services, and an intelligent LED lighting rig which Clayton gets to design sets with throughout the year.
Fall 2001 graduate and Executive Director of the clinic, an advocacy group for roadies and their families.
