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. \nApart 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. \nQuestions?
