A bit about Nick Cady...

I grew up in Santa Rosa, CA and moved out to Colorado in the Fall of 1996 to attend CU-Boulder. There, while studying & training for triathlons, I met the love of my life... got married, bought a house, had kids, and am still living in Colorado... and loving every second of it!

My teaching background was initially in Math and Science classrooms before  I moved to teaching in Centaurus Engineering in the Fall of 2005. From CAD modeling, to Robotics, Programming, and the IB Design Cycle, I have enjoyed the journeys that I get to take with each of my students as they make their way through high school, on to college, and beyond! I have watched CHS Engineering grow from 100 students, to the current level of ~600 students in 2024!!!

I am 100% serious when I say that I have the best teaching job that I can imagine. I get to work with an amazing group of students in classes that are fun, project-based and applicable to the real world. What could be better!  

If you are ever looking for me on my free time, it is a safe bet that you will find out for a run, or at a sporting event for my kids... swimming, X-country, you name it! 

See you in the lab and on the trails!
