Cade Richardson

I was born and raised in the community of Grays Creek. I graduated from Grays Creek High School in 2019. While attending high school, I also volunteered at Grays Creek Fire Department station #24. During high school, I furthered my education and received my fire fighter 1&2 from E.E. Smith High School. I volunteered at Station #24 for five years.

My dad is owner/operator with H.D Richardson Electric and during the summer, I worked with my dad helping wire pools and install residential wiring.

While in high school, I was a landscaper for two years at GreenBiz Nursery and Landscaping. I was hired as a Diesel Mechanic Assistant and later was asked to help operate an irrigation technician crew. I later transitioned to the landscaping side of operations for the rest of my part time employment.

After graduating from high school, I attended Fayetteville Technical Community College where I received my Associates Degree in Welding Technology. While attending college, I worked during the winter at Waste Container Repair Services, I received experience in welding and fabricating dumpster bottoms. I traveled to Florida for the company and gained further welding experience.

I graduated from Fayetteville Technical Community College in July 2022. I earned my AWS D1.1 Structure Unlimited Thickness Certification and received my OSHA 10 certification. I am currently working on obtaining my Tig Certification.
