Caden Sierra, Sports Writer

Hey. My name is Caden and I’m from the Chicagoland area.  I’m currently a senior here at NMU. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for being behind a camera.  It doesn’t matter to me whether I’m filming an experimental short film or photographing players at a sporting event. I’m always looking for ways to challenge myself with the next big thing and create a product that I’m proud of.
