  • Caden is originally from Coon Rapids, Minnesota, where he grew up until the age of 8. At that time, his parents felt called by the Lord to embark on a two-year mission trip. The family sold everything they owned, moved into a camper, and spent those years traveling the country to raise awareness about the tragedy of human trafficking in America and abroad. After the mission trip concluded, Caden’s father received a new calling into ministry in a small, rural town—Willmar, Minnesota. Caden and his family have remained in Willmar ever since. In his free time, Caden enjoys boxing, hanging out with friends, exercising, golfing, playing pickleball, reading his Bible, listening to podcasts, and spending time outdoors.
