Behind the scenes, he helps with the church’s CRM, IT and Organizational Operations and a bunch of techy / nerdy stuff. After to moving to the area 2010, he and his expectant wife were instantly hooked with Canyon Springs. He soon became a small group leader of one of the “Young Family” groups.

More About Blake, From Blake
I am an entrepreneurial junkie, and thanks to God, I can follow the cliche “do what you love” work life. I am married to Linnea, the Vice Principal at Dingeman Elementary and we have two children, Lucy and Landon. I am the odd duck, the only Miller without the 2-syllable first name beginning with “L.” Yet oddly, I came up naming both of our kids with “2 syllable Ls” after my wife, Linnea. I’m also a runner and love photography – mostly of people and events. God has given me the brains, energy, and drive to get myself into a lot of stuff . . .
I have a Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering Systems from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. I built and test-drove big ships and deep-sea drill rigs for about a decade.
Following an entrepreneurial calling, I jumped ship to chart my own course. I am the Owner and Creative Director of MITO Studios in San Diego – a Creative Services, Marketing and Consulting Agency that helps businesses and organizations better themselves in today’s “digital space.” Since COVID, I joined Vario Productions as the Product Line Manager for their Virtual Events Platform and Mobile Events App where I oversee the design, development, customer support aspects of the product as well working with sales & marketing to ensure the product line is properly positioned in the company and industry.
On the side, I own/operate an Events Production, Media and Entertainment Services company working with Live Events, Conferences, Corporate Functions and Weddings at Pro Motion Entertainment.
As my aunt always said of me . . . “I have eight hamsters in the cage.” God keeps those hamsters constantly fed and cranking on the wheel.
I’m blessed to have been introduced to Canyon Springs Church. I’ve become closer in my walk with Christ. I offer my strengths and abilities to help Canyon Springs “Reach the Next One.”
