As an employee of Lawson Electric and a member of the IBEW Local 175, I have had the opportunity to work with Caleb Long. I have grown to respect and admire Caleb for his ambition, his intelligence, and most importantly, his personal character.
I have seen Caleb take time to lend advice to younger co-workers, who were frustrated and growing impatient after discovering they were not selected for the apprenticeship program upon their first try. This shows me Caleb is a person that has a strong understanding of his role as a mentor. He always takes time to speak words of encouragement to his fellow co-workers.
Caleb takes pride in being a father. Caleb worked full time, while raising a son, and completing his master’s degree at UTC. Caleb has worked 60-hour weeks with his son’s name, Wyatt, written across his leather gloves and “I work for Wyatt” written across his hard hat. This shows me Caleb has a strong understanding in his role as a father.
If I knew that every member of my child’s school board was working for their “Wyatt” then I could rest assured that they are also working for my child as well.
