Self-motivated Mason Learns Quickly

Young and ambitious, 19-year-old Bryce Cude of Ogden, Utah, is the Masonry Apprentice of the Month. When he was just a high school junior and in his first year of masonry instruction at Ogden-Weber Applied Technology College, Cude tied for first place in the state masonry contest. As a senior, he won the contest outright. As a result, Cude represented Utah at the National Masonry Contest held last June in Kansas City, Mo., as part of the SkillsUSA National Championships.

Rick Brown, who has sponsored National Masonry Contest participants five of the past six years, has provided Cude with important, quality instruction in masonry.

These days, Cude is working as a brick and block layer for Wilcox Masonry. When he's not working, he's either fly tying or fly fishing.

Bryce Cude works on his composite project during the National Masonry Contest held at Bartle Hall in Kansas City, Mo, as part of the SkillsUSA National Championships.
