Hunter Keyes
Area Director
Hi Friends! My name is Hunter Keyes. Pictured above is my wife Katie Keyes and myself. I am originally from Monroe, LA and Katie is from Roanoke, VA. We met at a Young Life camp in college and dated long distance while I was at LSU and she was at South Carolina. We moved to Charlotte post college where I started my time on Young Life Staff and shortly after that we got engaged and married in August 2021. After 3 years of ministry in Charlotte we are so excited to call Beaufort home and see the Lord move in this beautiful place! Our hearts ache for all kids to know the gospel. We are grateful Young Life did not stop before it got to our high schools and we hope kids in Beaufort say that for years to come!

Chas Martin
Wyldlife Staff Associate
Hey! I'm Chas and pictured above is my wife Julia. We moved to Beaufort in 2019, after we graduated from Clemson, to continue to pursue kids. Julia and I met through leading Young Life at Clemson, and now she is still volunteering at Beaufort Academy while I'm on staff. We have loved getting to start our family in Beaufort and heading what the Lord has for us here. We both care deeply about introducing high school and middle school kids to Christ, and have enjoyed the rollercoaster that lifestyle leads to!

Hi! I am Ieesha. My husband and I are both born and raised in Beaufort, so serving our community is a major priority in our lives. We have two sweet little ones, Kayleigh and Uriah who we thank God for everyday. I started volunteering with YoungLives in 2021 and have truly loved this journey. I love spending time with the beautiful young ladies in YoungLives, their sweet babies and sharing God’s love. I am very excited about my new position as the YoungLives Coordinator.
