Kade has been interested in the construction industry since he was young. As a kid, he was always building something with his hands and loved to get dirty. In high school, he participated in an architecture class and thought that was the way forward. However, after the second year, he wanted more of a challenge and wanted to incorporate his love for math and physics.

He is a student at Utah State University which has been an amazing experience for him. There he met his wife, Patryce, swing dancing on a Tuesday night, and they keep the tradition alive by continuing to go often. As a freshman, he discovered civil engineering and loved it. He enjoys participating in extracurricular clubs such as ASCE, SEAU, and EERI.

Apart from school and work, Kade loves to be outside in the mountains and spending time with his wife. He is an avid hiker and loves to play in the dirt. He enjoys spending time in the kitchen with his wife and trying new recipes.
