After graduating from high school, Kendiah started working at Rivendell as an apprentice. He learned quickly under his older brother’s tutelage and diligently worked his way up to becoming shop foreman himself.
Kendiah attended Diablo Valley College, where he took a course in AutoCAD. Along with on-the-job training, this taught him how to assist with drafting and engineering projects. He now splits his time between the shop and the office.
Creating and building is an exciting and satisfying process that Kendiah feels fortunate to facilitate. He loves how custom woodworking begins with a board and ends with something beautiful. Each experience leaves him eager for the next.
Kendiah is a competitive person and enjoys a good challenge. He plays basketball and online games, often besting his opponents as part of a team. He also tests his strength and stamina with activities like weight lifting and indoor rock climbing. Here he contends with his own accomplishments, pushing to make progress. One of his biggest goals in life is to strive for constant improvement, both inside and outside of his work at Rivendell.
