Our Crew
we are:
Producers.
Creatives.
Awesome.
We’re proud of what we do and the people that make it happen. Our crew has been designing, managing and producing industry changing events for over a decade. We believe that every touchpoint is essential to an experience, and we are just as passionate about each finer detail as we are about every vision. Welcome to our House. We’re thrilled you’re here.
Our Purpose
Where We Come From
In 2013, we ignited a fire into the world of events with production that is as technically cutting-edge as it is bold and unforgettable. Rooted in touring (we got our start with Alan Jackson!), we have a passion for building an authentic connection with every client. Our team was built on collaboration, integrity, and empathy, and we build every production off this same foundation. We call Nashville, TN home, but you can catch us backstage or front of house (sometimes both!) worldwide.
I’m In.
Drop us a message and let’s plan your next event.
Nathan Baugh
Founder/Owner
The OG. Ultimate Visionary.
With over 10 years experience managing small corporate events of 50,000 people, Nathan brings real life experience to managing events at 46 Entertainment. His inability to accept no for an answer, and his conscious desire to push for excellence keeps the execution standards high within the team. When he’s not part of the team at 46, he’s spending time with his wife, Laura Kate, and their two daughters, Bankes and Townes.
Laura Kate Baugh
Owner
Brand Enthusiast. Authentically Bold.
With extensive experience in the corporate world at Capital Strategies and Buffalo-Rock Pepsi, Laura Kate brings her infectious personality and organization to the team by default – she is married to the owner! She’s a champion of the people and the vibe at 46, and loves the creativity every experience embodies at both companies. When she’s not embracing the culture here, she’s spending time with her husband, Nathan, and their two daughters, Bankes and Townes.
Paula Speakman
Chief of Staff
Dedicated Go-To. Fiercest Problem Solver.
Paula is the driving force behind everything at 46, truly the go-to leader for all things related to our company’s success. With a strong foundation in Finance and Human Resource Management, she brings a strategic and people-centered approach to every aspect of the business. Paula isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves and dive into any challenge, especially when it involves leading and supporting the team. When she’s not steering the company forward, you’ll likely find her enjoying time outdoors with her husband and dogs, often tubing down the river.
Cole
Chief of Office Culture
Lead Napper. Snack Wizard.
Hailing from the foothills of Pennsylvania, Cole brings his love of snacks and positive energy to the office every day. While he doesn’t travel on events (retired), he manages the office culture and keeps everybody encouraged. After a hard morning, he typically spends his afternoons underneath a chair in the conference room napping.
Noah Wilbanks
Vice President | Production
Technical Guru. Corporate and Worship Expert.
Noah is our Vice President of Production and the steady hand behind some of our most complex and high-impact events. With a deep background in technical production, a knack for logistics, and calm-in-the-chaos energy, he leads our team of production managers with precision and heart. When he’s off the clock, you’ll find Noah soaking up lake life with his wife Courtney and their dog Allie.
Lauren Coker
Vice President | Project Management
Fearless Creative. Radically Ambitious.
Lauren is our Vice President of Project Management and a powerhouse behind both touring and corporate projects. She’s known for turning ambitious ideas into reality, having spent years curating client visions and breaking new ground—especially on Dude Perfect tours.

Experience Obsessed. Total Brand Disrupter.
Kaitlin brings us over 12 years of experience in the field! From a young age, she’s been enamored with crafting unforgettable experiences for others, turning dreams into reality with her creative flair. When she’s not busy wowing us with her marketing prowess, you can bet she’s off exploring the world or honing her skills on the golf course. With Kaitlin, every moment is an adventure waiting to unfold!
John McCullough
Director of Client Relations
People First. Purpose Driven. Strategic Connector.
John’s superpower? Building relationships that actually mean something. After 20 years in full-time ministry—wearing hats like worship pastor, creative director, and service programmer—he helped launch East Cobb Church as part of the North Point Ministries network. Most recently, he took his heart for leadership and connection to the corporate world, building leadership development chapters for C-suite execs nationwide with Inspire Leadership Network.
Now, he brings that same energy to 46, making sure every client feels heard, cared for, and part of the family. His ideal weekend? Hitting the golf course somewhere warm, with great accommodations and a spa stop (for his wife… mostly).
Patryk Baran
Director of Operations
Behind the Scenes. Making It Happen.
Patryk brings nine-plus years of AV industry experience to his role as Director of Operations at 46 Entertainment. Known for his hands-on leadership style and sharp attention to detail, he helps keep teams aligned and projects running smoothly from start to finish. Born in Poland and raised in Chicago, Patryk is also a car enthusiast and can usually be found exploring new golf courses around Tennessee when he’s off the clock—or tapping into his roots as a former dance music DJ and producer.
Justin Warner
Director of Project Management
Dreamer. Doer. Production Pro.
Justin’s career spans nearly two decades of bringing moments to life—first in the church world, where he wore just about every hat imaginable, from running lyrics to counseling families. But it was behind the console and under the lights where his true gift shone brightest.
After years of shaping live experiences in ministry, Justin stepped into the world of sales, learning the power of trust, relationships, and follow-through. That season sharpened his people skills and deepened his belief that integrity is the heartbeat of great work. Ultimately, though, his creative roots called him back to live production—where dreaming big and executing with excellence is second nature.
When he’s not behind the scenes making things happen, Justin’s likely knee-deep in a river fly fishing, out in the woods hunting, or tackling his next home remodeling project.
Matt Anderson
Director of Production
Mason Felps
Production Manager
Lighting Director. Festival and Tour Expert.
With over 10 years experience in large-scale events (he’s a regular on Dude Perfect, Rock the South, Alan Jackson, The Cullman Christkindlmarkt and more!) Mason is as seasoned as they come. He has a knack for big shows, but he does love working on all projects, from intimate conferences to sold out stadiums. When he’s not working a show, you can find him with his person, Breanna, and their kids Tucker and Millie, most likely fishing! But if you do see Mason at an event, you know it’s going to be EPIC.
Paul Chambless
Production Manager
Road-Tested Pro. Rhythm Maker.
Paul hit the road in 2007 and never looked back. From lighting tech to promoter rep, tour manager to production manager—he’s done it all, and for events of every shape and size. With years of hands-on experience and a deep love for the craft, Paul brings calm confidence and serious know-how to every show.
When he’s not making things run smoothly on the road, you’ll find him behind a drum kit, diving into a good musical, or planning his next travel adventure.
Jonathan Robbins
Production Manager
Self-Taught Techie. Systems Guy.
Jonathan’s production journey started with a DIY mindset and a whole lot of hustle. After teaching himself the ropes at Roswell St. Baptist Church, he joined Southside Church where he climbed the ranks—from Children’s Production Director to overseeing multi-campus systems as Director of Production. With a deep understanding of both people and process, Jonathan brings sharp strategy and smooth execution to every event.
When he’s not building production systems or running shows, you’ll find him on the golf course, gaming with friends, or hanging out with his favorite crew—his family.
Clint Singleton
Production Manager
Ministry-minded.
With over 15 years of full-time ministry experience, Clint brings a deep background in music direction, production leadership, and creative storytelling to his role at 46 Entertainment. As a seasoned producer and former production director, he thrives on building teams, executing high-impact events, and bringing vision to life through technical excellence and heart-driven collaboration.
When he’s not managing productions, you’ll find Clint sailing, writing songs, or spending quality time with his wife and kids.
Jordan Lambert
Production Manager
Monitor Engineer. Ambitiously Detailed.
Jordan came to 46 with a passion for music and an aptitude for production; which made him the ideal Production Manager for the Josh Turner tour! In his years on tour, Jordan has applied his ability to lead projects from inception to final delivery with collaboration, careful consideration and creativity. When he’s not on the road, you can find him immersed in a book, engaged in immersive audio, or working on his own music (left handed!).

Leah is no stranger to 46. She was with us as a Production Coordinator on Alan Jackson in 2021 and 2022. She is a proud graduate of the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) and loves the 4th of July just as much as she loves the world of Entertainment. Leah brings a new set of skills to our team and we are SO excited to have her as one of our Project Managers!
Nate Bedingfield
Project Manager
Connector. Creator. Road-Tested Leader.

He’s served as Director of Artist Success at OXGN, produced high-impact experiences with Westfall Gold, and spent years on the road as a tour manager and guitarist for countless artists—giving him a front-row seat to what makes performances truly connect.
Nate’s journey has been grounded in hard work, humility, and heart—fueled by a genuine love for collaboration and creativity.
When he’s not producing events or mentoring artists, you’ll find Nate fly fishing, playing pickleball, or experimenting in the kitchen as he learns to cook new foods—always chasing that perfect mix of grit and grace.

Carson’s calm approach and attention to detail help keep show days running smoothly, no matter the environment.

Andrue Valdez
Asset Manager
Marine-Made. Gear Guru.
Before joining 46, Andrue spent four years in the Marine Corps mastering the art of getting things where they need to go—fast. From helicopter sling loads to loading and unloading planes, ships, and rails, he’s done it all (and made it look easy). He also handled the accountability and storage of personnel gear like a pro. Now as our Asset Manager, Andrue brings that same precision, discipline, and no-nonsense attitude to keep our equipment in check and our team ready for anything.
When he’s off duty, Andrue loves spending weekends outdoors with his family—riding dirt bikes, swimming at the lake or creek, and soaking up every bit of fresh air.

Guy’s journey took him from sales and marketing back to his roots in warehouse and transportation, where he’s managed everything from staff and drivers to billing and inventory control. His hands-on experience and leadership make him a vital part of keeping things moving smoothly behind the scenes.
When he’s not handling the logistics, Guy’s blowing sweet tunes on his saxophone, hanging out with his pet chameleon, or enjoying the great outdoors.
