Caleb Mathes
2025 LEAVING THE NEST SENIORS
Caleb began his fencing journey only two years ago and as soon as he picked up an Epee in that introductory class, he knew he had found his passion. Caleb moved up to the Comp class and participates in NAC’s, Regionals and Opens. Caleb enjoys the competitive side of fencing but he also is grateful for the friends, coaches and mentors at NWFC.
Caleb also has been riding horses for the last four years and rides his favorite horse Huckleberry every week. Riding Huckleberry is a great way to be outside and connecting with animals is a mental health boost. Caleb loves travelling and exploring new places. He has been to over 40 states and hopes to round out visiting all 50 states soon. Some of his favorite memories are dogsledding in Alaska, horseback riding in Rocky Mountain National Park and
snorkeling in Hawaii.
Caleb will attend Portland State University and continue to fence with his coaches at NWFC. He will major in Civil Engineering. Caleb’s passion is wind and hydro electricity and improving sustainable power sources. Fencing and being a part of the NW Fencing Center community has been most rewarding for Caleb.
