Kaden finds great satisfaction in tracking forces and providing a clear path for transferring them from the structure to the foundation. He has learned that simplicity often leads to the most effective solutions, which has presented its challenges but is ultimately rewarding.

What is the most unusual challenge you have encountered on a project and how did you navigate it?

An unusual challenge that I encountered recently was a misplaced chord connection. The chord forces were so big that we ended up specifying a giant plate and thru-bolts for the repair detail.

Do you speak any languages fluently other than English?

Yes, I speak Mandarin natively and can speak a little bit of Malay.

What instrument(s) do you play, if any?

I play a little bit of piano. I can also strum chords on guitar but not really any fingerstyle.
