Growing up in Reno, Kaden graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2018. From there he moved to Flagstaff, AZ to attend the National Park Service Law Enforcement Academy.

During his time with Nevada OHV, Kaden found a deep appreciation for outdoor recreation in Nevada. This appreciation led to positions with the Tahoe Rim Trail Association and Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful. In 2023 Kaden graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Masters in Natural and Cultural Resource Communication.
When not in the office, Kaden can be found somewhere in the backcountry, exploring the backroads of Nevada, hiking, or mountain biking. During the colder months he is skiing and snowshoeing in the Sierras.
