Allan grew up in Brooklyn, New York where he started playing the works of Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach at an early age. In his teens, Allan attended the Performing Arts High School (later known as the LaGuardia High School) in New York City, NY. While there, he developed an even stronger affinity for classical music and an increased involvement in his local church. After graduating from the University of Buffalo, he and his family moved to Atlanta, Georgia. For the last 15 years, Allan has been serving as the Music Director for East Point Church in East Point, GA and as a Music Teacher at multiple schools, including Covenant Christian School. Allan, along with his wife Michelle and their four children, are excited for this new opportunity at Smyrna Presbyterian Church.

Miss Shelby, a native of Marietta, GA, has been serving the church as custodian for quite some time. Originally as a paid worker of an outside cleaning service, she was assigned to work at our church. She did such a wonderful job and was so endeared by the staff of the church and school that we hired her directly as an employee of the church.

Kristin Soileau is no stranger to Georgia, having been born and raised in the state. In fact, her childhood passion for soccer allowed her the opportunity to play at Kennesaw State University, where she graduated in 2012 with a degree in Early Childhood Education. Kristin went on to obtain her teaching credentials for Middle School Science, as well. Kristin married her husband, Brandon, in 2017. They had their first daughter, Virginia, in 2018, and their second daughter, Audrey, in 2020. She enjoys traveling and spending time with family and friends.
