Mr. Baade chose BASIS Independent Schools for its strong sense of integrity and its genuine commitment to providing a high-quality education. He values being part of a community that prioritizes both academic excellence and meaningful student support.

He believes that students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process, and he strives to contribute to an environment that encourages curiosity and participation. By supporting students both inside and outside the classroom, he aims to help them feel confident and motivated in their academic journey.

Outside of school, Mr. Baade enjoys long walks, bike rides, scuba diving, playing the banjo, reading, and spending time with friends and family. A fun fact: he owns a six-foot boa constrictor named Jörmungandr, inspired by the world serpent from Norse mythology.
