BLAKE YOUNG
Charleston,SC
Summary
Born and raised Southern Baptist and I believe that God sent his one and only son Jesus Christ to the cross so that he could take away the burdens of our sin and offer us that bridge to come to the Father through him. My main objective is to constantly build relationships with those around me so that we are able to grow in and through Christ together. I am a musician as well as a technician and enjoy leading both a musical team and a production team. I have 8 years of experience behind a sound console while i have 6 years working as a Production Director. I am organized, collective and strive to build connections relationally with those that I work with and within my community.
