About us

Battle Borne, for me, is being able to give back to those who served our country—most of them not asking for anything in return. I feel that they should be given everything, considering the trauma most have endured. I think their resources should be endless, and they should be treated with the utmost respect.

Cadence grew up in a military family, moving frequently before settling in the Lehigh Valley in 2001. She lives with her husband, Chris, a former Marine. Since 2009, she has worked as a Certified Surgical Technologist at St. Luke’s Hospital and has a B.A. in Biology at DeSales University, aiming for a Master’s as a Physician’s Assistant. Cadence volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters, mentoring the same Little Sister for four years.

She and Chris met through local Veterans organizations, and together they share a vision to connect veterans with resources to help them reach their potential. Though never having served herself, Cadence deeply respects those who have, and she actively gives back to the military community. She serves as Vice President of Battle Borne, overseeing inventory and shipping of merchandise.
