Caleb Keiter

Hi, I'm Caleb Keiter, a Digital Content Creator and Portrait Photographer living in San Diego, CA.

After spending 10+ years specializing in professional audio production and expert-level instruction, I am completing my Bachelors degree in Communication with a concentration in Communication Technology. I plan on fusing my creative talents and experience with my education to help companies and individuals connect with their customers and publics using modern communication technology such as social media, blogging, and other web services. I will put my research, creative writing, public speaking, and new media skills to work to create and present positive information via multiple mass media channels. I am also a professional portrait and sports photographer who specializes in family, children, and senior portraits and endurance racing events. My work is featured on www.calebkeiter.com and www.sandiegorunner.com. In addition to my professional skills and experience, I am an avid runner and triathlete. Some of my favorite racing highlights include completing the 2011 Long Beach Marathon in 2:57:55, the 2011 Boston Marathon in 03:02:04, and the 2010 Ironman St. George in 12:53:34. Though I race almost every known distance from the 5K and up, my favorite race is the marathon. I approach my competitive life with the same passion, dedication, and integrity found in my professional life.
