Hi, there. I’m Caleb.
I’m a husband, father of two, West Point grad, NFL athlete and now—full time keynote speaker. Soul poetry is my scripture and now, at 40, I’ve come to realize that nature, the more than human world, is my sanctuary.
For the first half of my life, I was driven by an unwavering belief that if I could reach that elusive “there”—achieving enough, proving enough"—I’d satisfy the inner ache constantly reminding me that something was missing. From West Point to the NFL, I found myself in the middle of my childhood dream, only to realize I was playing a losing game—there was no amount of external success that could reconcile the inner war I was living.
As this Divine ambush dismantled the foundation of my once steady and predictable life, it left me standing in the rubble of my old ambition, exposing the empty freedom I called success and asking, “What now?”
I didn’t know it then, but I was being invited on a further journey—a journey that had less to do with the familiar path of the upward trajectory fueled by sheer will and more to do with a downward descent—an internal deepening.
Through this deepening, I’ve realized that there comes a time in all of our lives when the next evolution of growth doesn’t come by pushing harder but only by learning how to resist less.
This is the Further Journey.
