Hu­mans of Maryville: Cade Rich

What in­flu­enced you to change your name from Alex to Cade?

“In life as we face many chal­lenges, my biggest chal­lenge in life oc­curred this sum­mer. I spent 31 days in Fort Knox, KY in ba­sic camp for the U.S. Army. Dur­ing my time there I grew as a per­son, and felt like I en­tered the man­hood phase of my life. Chang­ing my name was an in­di­ca­tion that the per­son I used to be was no more. Cade is my mid­dle name and that is why I chose it as my new iden­tity.”
