After graduation from CCPA, Caleb joined the Axiom Brass Quintet and spent two years touring the United States presenting master classes and recitals throughout the country as well as the Dominican Republic. During his tenure with Axiom the group was awarded the Grand Prize at the 2012 International Brass Chamber music competition held in Passau, Germany. Caleb returned to school in 2016 to earn his terminal degree and graduated with his Doctor of Musical Arts in 2020 from the University of Iowa.
