Wade was born on Dec. 18, 1970, the son of Arnold and Linda (Graham) Zent in Bowman. He grew up and attended the Oakes grade school and graduated from the Bismarck High School. Wade attended two semesters at North Dakota State University in Fargo. He returned to Bismarck, where he worked for Bell Transmission, Inc. Wade then started work for the Burlington Railroad, where he became a welding foreman. Along with working for the railroad, Wade owned and operated Windshield Express. His special friend Tracey Schipman also worked with him. Wade also was the CEO of Access Excavating along with his father, Arnie.
He enjoyed keeping a full agenda and was always on the go. Wade liked to hunt, fish, take care of his dogs and especially liked following the NASCAR circuit, especially following Dale Ehrnhart Sr. and later Kevin Harvick.
