Early life
Young was born on December 19, 1983, as the eldest of four children. He attended Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu in Mandaue for high school and graduated with a civil engineering degree from the University of San Carlos in Cebu City. Young was a varsity table tennis player and a competitive shooter. After graduating, he worked for his father's steel building manufacturing company in Mandaue, but eventually forwent his family business and worked as a civil engineer for larger companies such as Nestlé.[1]
Career
In 2011, after finishing an acting workshop established by actor Pen Medina, Young decided to become a model and appeared on different catalogs across Cebu. During an interview with Sun.Star, Young stated that he was aspiring to be branded as a matinée idol.[1]
Slater Young officially launched his career by winning the reality show Pinoy Big Brother: Unlimited. Young was dubbed as "The Hotshot Engineer of Cebu" and was also part of the first batch that entered the house. On Day 155 – the Big Night at the Grandstand (March 31, 2012), he was proclaimed as the show's first male Big Winner of a Pinoy Big Brother regular season. He garnered a total of 40.02% of votes with 18.58% lead from 2nd Big Placer, Pamu Pamorada.[2]
Weeks after his winning, Young made several guest appearances in the network and with the premier of the new season of Pinoy Big Brother only a week after his victory, speculations rose that he is pressured of debuting quickly to the entertainment industry.[3] On April 13, Young played his first acting role as a guest star in the series finale of E-Boy opposite Jessy Mendiola.[4] On April 28, Young continued his acting stint via the drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya as Andrei with veteran actress, Dimples Romana, and PBB: Unlimited's 4th Big Placer, Paco Evangelista.[5]
Young has since retired from showbiz and decided to focus on his own business, manufacturing lightweight concrete called LiteBlock.[6]
