When Caleb isn’t immersed in music, you might catch him pedaling his bike to Harrisburg’s hot spots, reading Thoreau, jamming to Ariana Grande, watching scary movies, exploring new destinations across the country, or enjoying breakfast pretzels at the Broad Street Market. Caleb resides in Midtown, Harrisburg with his wife, Julie. Rom. 1:16
