Caleb Hooker

Raised in the rolling foothills of northwest North Carolina, Caleb spent his childhood on tobacco and cattle farms throughout Stokes County. There, his love of the outdoors, farm life, fishing, hunting and camping were cultivated, and his passion for adventure grew. His family's love of God, traditional American values, and strong work ethic influenced him from an early age, leading to his enlistment in the United States Marine Corps after graduating high school. Caleb served honorably for 20 years as an Intelligence Chief and Analyst, retiring in July 2018 as a Master Sergeant, having been awarded both the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal and Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal four times throughout his career. He now resides in Isle of Wight County, Virginia with his wife Carie, and daughters Grace and Cayleigh. Throughout his military career, and to this day, his love of the outdoors, fishing, hunting, and the farming way of life continue to be his passion.
