CALEB
I was born and raised in West Philly. I spent most of my time on the playground, just hanging out, relaxing, and playing basketball. One day, a few guys came up and started causing trouble, getting me involved. I decided to problem solve, and ended up in a fight. Just one, tiny fight, but my mom got all worried, so she sent me away to live with my aunt and uncle. They lived in a really nice part of Los Angeles. I tried my hardest to talk her out of it, but she was so determined, she packed up my stuff herself! She gave me a kiss goodbye, handed me my ticket, and sent me on my way. There was nothing I could do, so I put my walkman on, and said, “I guess I’m out of here.”
The cab I got from the airport had a vanity plate that just said, “Fresh” and even had fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror.I took that as a good sign and told him where to take me. We got to the house in the evening, and as a joke (but not really, because it really smelled bad) I said, “Smell ya later!” I looked around, and realized I could really have a great life here. And that is how I became a royal member of Bel-Air.
Q: WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
A: Born in Springfield, MO, moved to Arkansas, then Hungary, then moved to Denton, TX, then back to Springfield. I’ve lived here since 1998.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR BEST CONCERT EXPERIENCE?
A: The first “big name band” concert I went to was Collective Soul back in 1998 (got tickets from a friend who won them from a radio station). On the way to Branson, on the bus, I won a Meet & Greet with the band. They had been my favorite band of the 90s, and I was so excited. The band was super cool and friendly, and it made me love live shows.
Q: WHAT DRINK IS IN YOUR HAND?
A: A protein shake.
Q: WHAT ARE YOUR TURN ON’S?
A: A kind soul.
Q: WHAT ARE YOUR TURN OFF’S?
A: Someone who is closed-minded.
Q: WHO’S YOUR HALL PASS? (BE HONEST)
A: I’m single, so everyone is fair game.
Q: WHAT POPULAR TREND BOTHERS YOU?
A: Rich people who are famous because they are rich.
Q: DO YOU HAVE ANY GUILTY PLEASURES?
A: I can’t say I feel guilt for any of my pleasures.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE QUOTE?
A: “No, wait. It’s gotta be YOUR bull.” Chris Farley (RIP), Tommy Boy

A: Blaze Sundance
Q: ANY FINAL THOUGHTS?
