Gabriel Cade
was born and raised in the tiny alternative community of
Celo, North Carolina. His father is a doctor and his mother
is a nurse. In addition, they run a small farm with goats,
chickens, rabbits and fields of blueberry bushes. Cade has
one brother, Jason, and a twin sister, Emily.
During his first two years of high school in Mitchell County,
Cade was a competitive figure skater, a member of a singing
quartet and was part of a symphony orchestra (having played
classical cello since he was seven years old). He also studied
jazz and ballet dancing. He then transferred to the North
Carolina School of Science and Mathematics for his junior
and senior year. As the school required community service,
he spent two summers working for World Changers, an organization
that assists in building homes for impoverished individuals.
Graduating in 1996, he then traveled throughout Europe where
he eventually began volunteer teaching English in a small
town in France while also leading adventure trips for students.
Returning to
the States, Cade enrolled at the University of North Carolina
where he intended to pursue a double major in biology and
drama with a double minor in English and French. During
his freshman year, he completed a rescue scuba diving course
to become certified. After his freshman year, he returned
to Europe to continue leading the adventure trips. He then
returned to the States and enrolled in a Sarasota, Florida-based
school named New College. With no grades and no core requirements,
if a course didn't exist, he was able to create it and call
it an independent reading project. For a brief time, his
major was French Science Fiction. While there, he was able
to fulfill a lifelong dream of playing soccer with a semi-professional
team while also coaching at a local middle school. In addition,
he performed and taught ballroom dancing.
In the summer
of 1998, Cade spent four months hiking the Appalachian Trail
from Mount Katahdin, Maine, to Springer Mountain, Georgia
(approximately 2,000 miles). He then returned to college,
this time at the University of North Carolina, Asheville,
until he decided to move to Los Angeles, California. He
obtained a job writing for a national college newspaper
where he ran the entertainment section. This afforded him
the opportunity to interview his favorite celebrities, attend
the Sundance Film Festival and participate in lavish press
junkets. When he decided to leave the paper, he then began
teaching an S.A.T. math prep course while bartending and
serving as a chauffeur for an elderly gentleman.
Gabriel Cade's
favorite hobbies are reading, writing, soccer, camping and
learning new languages. He is fluent in French and moderately
versed in three additional languages. He currently lives
in Hollywood, Calif. His birth date is July 1.
