About Kaden Holmes

As a former theatre major, the average public expects me to have a flare for the dramatic and a histrionic approach to life. Though I put on musical numbers in my living room, I mainly apply the skills and dedication I've developed studying theatre to use in my daily life and as a professional. Studying theatre has not made me a working thespian (much to my dismay), but it has made me a flexible and adaptable learner. Acting, memorizing lines, and learning blocking on a tight schedule have refined my ability to to dedicate myself to completing complex tasks on tight deadlines. Directing has made me an incredible collaborator and leader by making me able to orchestrate and pull together the efforts of designers, performers, stage hands, and all the background entities that make the polished product of a show work. I have learned what it takes to build a beautiful set, program engaging lighting designs, build and maintain silly costumes, and design an engrossing sound design. In short, I'm a professional at learning, adapting, and collaborating. In my professional career, I have learned the inner workings of HVAC, lighting, refrigeration, BAS systems, networking, work order management, technical writing, developing SOPs and training content, lesson planning, training, and how to be a technical resource for a team. With all my skills combined, I can problem solve and build processes for teams to follow in order to ensure the end user/customer is getting the highest quality service possible and resolve any outstanding issues in a timely manner. It is also important to me as a leader that my team members get exactly what they need to succeed. That may look like one-on-one personal development, a flexible schedule, and a safe place to work. I strive to cultivate psychological safety so everyone can feel confident in expressing their ideas and letting management know when something isn't working for them. This is the key to keeping talented individuals and building a world-class team.
