A native of Rocklin, CA, Hayden grew up with agricultural roots in his family, which sparked his early interest in the intersection of farming and business. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Managerial Economics from UC Davis, where his studies helped shape his passion for agriculture, operations, and improving processes within the industry.

Prior to joining Rivermaid in 2023, Hayden worked as a Subcontract Manager in the aerospace sector. That experience honed his skills in project management and operational efficiency, which he now applies to his role as Production Supervisor. At Rivermaid, Hayden oversees supplier relationships and drives production projects, always emphasizing the importance of quality and integrity: in his words, “Price is what you pay, value is what you get.”

Outside of work, Hayden enjoys hiking, running, playing the drums, traveling, and spending time with his cat, Donnie. He currently resides in Sacramento, CA, and brings the same energy and precision to both his personal pursuits and his professional role at Rivermaid.
