Caleb Finn is the CEO and Founder of Circular, a social enterprise dedicated to reversing climate change and addressing food waste and insecurity through regenerative agriculture.

While working as a Civil Engineer (structures), Caleb pursued his passion for sustainable living and transformed his suburban Orange County home into a micro-homestead, complete with orchard and vegetable garden. As part of that homestead, he created a system repurposing food and garden waste from his own family and neighbors with the help of earthworms and chickens.

Confronted with the broader challenges in the global food system, including misuse of food waste, poor food nutrition and quality, rampant food insecurity, and commercial farming’s drastic impact on the climate crisis, Caleb developed the Circular Solution: Collect food waste from local restaurants and grocers, convert it into the greatest organic regenerative fertilizer known to man – worm castings – then partner with local farms to improve food quality and availability. After winning the UCI New Venture Competition, Caleb focused full-time on Circular to make a significant impact on the global climate crisis, assembling a talented team and securing partnerships with local restaurants and the UC Agriculture Department.

Apart from his work as an engineer and in sustainability, Caleb also enjoys spending time with his family and 3 children, volunteering as a UC Master Gardener, snowboarding, scuba diving, competitive video games, reading the Bible, and volunteer ministry work.
