More about Carden
First Strokes
My parents were raft guides when they were younger, so I basically grew up around the river. I got my first kayak when I was 6, and even since then my love for this sport has grown.
Off the Water
I am on my high-schools track team as a pole vaulter. I also love spending time with my friends and family.
