Kai is a multi-talented musician, storyteller, and young creative rooted deeply in the Yosemite Foothills. Known for his calm presence and thoughtful way of moving through the world, he spends his days creating, building connections, and supporting the people and places that shaped him. Though he no longer works in forestry, that connection to the land still shows up in his perspective, his music, and the grounded way he approaches community.

Kai represents the heart of why Foothills Under 30 exists: young people who choose to invest in their hometowns with curiosity, kindness, and creativity. He was nominated by the community because he’s someone people feel proud of someone who shows what it looks like to grow up here, stay rooted, and still dream bigger. His story reflects the quiet leadership happening all around the foothills, often without fanfare.
