Andrew Ayers
I am writing regarding a fine young man whom I wholeheartedly recommend to you. I have known Andrew Ayers for over five years and have been impressed with his passion for the Lord and for his talent and skills regarding technical work, especially in the area of lighting and audio. Andrew has been an invaluable resource to us. He has an excellent record of achieving results through his dedication, determination, and dependability. He has, repeatedly been my “go to” guy when we have had a challenge or need trustworthy advice. Andrew is a well-rounded professional with excellent people skills. It will be a blessed organization that gives him the opportunity to demonstrate his talents.

It is my privilege to write this letter of reference for Andrew Ayers. Andrew worked with our ministry as a Summer Intern and as Contract Help on an event basis. He has worked with us over the last 3 years and has returned as needed throughout that time. Andrew has some great gifts with lighting that have made him a valuable member of our team.
Our ministry works to support business, teaching, youth and evangelism meetings of non- profits. Our client list is quite diverse and represents work across a broad spectrum of budgets and facilities. We travel the country helping produce events in hotels, convention centers, and fairgrounds. We support more than 50 events a year. Of these events about 15 utilize a high-end lighting show that is similar to what Andrew has helped us create over the years.
During Andrew’s internship we pushed him in a variety of ways to learn more about our work than just the lighting. Andrew picked up the basics of video and audio very quickly. It was with lighting however, that he had the best skill set and the most creativity. After demonstrating his strengths in this area we have come to depend on Andrew to handle complex lighting needs including fixed, moving, and color wash fixtures. His knowledge of fixtures and boards from his education served him well with our team.
One particular story was where he hung, aimed and ran a show for a Contemporary Christian Drama Team. They had some specific requests that had to be covered with individuals light “splotches” as they liked to call them across the stage. They would jump from place to place changing colors. Andrew took great care to aim our fixed lights to cover these spots. Then he did a great job adding to what they wanted by using our moving and color wash lights to help show the jump in characters as they moved on the stage.
I believe Andrew to be a creative and effective lighting designer who could work with a variety of groups in a professional manner. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions

Taking the time and, as a good Facilitator should, making sure all the Lighting Class attendees who were lagging behind were kept up to speed so that by the end of the class, everyone was able to leave the class with valuable information and a sense of pride, knowing they now have the tools to get the job done. Very good work Andrew.
