New Hires Office
Caleb Sauder
Senior Data Analyst
We are excited to share that Caleb Sauder has joined Nussbaum as a Senior Data Analyst. Caleb graduated Illinois State University with a degree in Industrial Technology. Caleb spent the last 10.5 years working with Creative Sites Media, which was bought by Precision Planting in 2021. With Precision Planting he has spent time as a Technical Project manager eventually making his way to a Data Team lead. If Caleb had a free Saturday he would go explore a new place with his wife and kids (preferably something toddler friendly 😉). Caleb’s favorite book is With By Skye Jethani. An interesting fact about Caleb is that he had a doctor almost mistakenly take out his appendix by looking at a wrong chart 😲. We are excited to have Caleb join the Nussbaum Team, and look forward to what he can bring to Nussbaum.
