His taste in music reflects his love for the beach, and his favorites include Paul McCartney, Bob Marley, and Jimmy Buffet. Bill has always been eager to take on a new challenge, and that desire is what brought him to The Audio Lab. Bill brings a high level of energy to our team and the community.

Pat
General Manager
Originally from California, Pat has been a Wilmington local for 23 years. He hears the beauty in every genre of music and especially enjoys the musical stylings of Eric Wooten and Carlos Santana. As a bass player, Pat's passion for music goes beyond just listening. He used to play professionally and now plays in a band here in Wilmington (check out Billy Electritx!). His favorite part of working at The Audio Lab is being able to put his creativity and imagination to use. When not working, Pat is almost always doing something with music or taking on new house projects.
