He is also doing an internship with St. Luke’s Health Systems in the athletic training department and is a graduate assistant working with the College of Health Sciences to create medical research collaborations with St. Luke’s.

During his free time Kade volunteers at local health clinics, is a leader for the boy scouts, and also loves to spend time outdoors doing activities such as skiing, backpacking and mountain biking. He has enjoyed his experience at Boise State due to “the many research and educational opportunities available at the university as well as the great community that has access to outdoor activities right in the school’s backyard.”
