About Me

My name is Caleb Barnes and I am a senior at Liberty University. 

I love following Jesus and I love racing. Growing up as a pastor's kid, my family has moved around a number of times. Originating in Kentucky, I've lived in Florida, Virginia, and Arkansas. 

While in Florida, I encountered racing for the first time and became hooked on loud engines, burnt rubber, and the smell of gasoline. Since, I have desired to pursue a career in racing, in media, or in both. While at Liberty, I double majored in Strategic Communications and Digital Media: Sports Journalism to hone my media skills. I've learned a lot about live production in a studio. I am familiar with the Adobe Creative Cloud, especially Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, and Audition. I also know my way around a camera to do photo and video, and I write for The Liberty Champion as well. 

Utilizing my skills, I created a couple platforms for myself. On Twitter, I make phone wallpaper images based on weekly NASCAR paint schemes and have amassed over 2,500 followers for my page @nascarwallpaper. At school, I created a meme account to have fun and at one point grew it to over 10,000 followers.

I pride myself on my work ethic and work quality, but I certainly want to have fun in whatever I do. I love adding in a little of my personality into anything I create, and I learned some of this through my time running my pages and also through being a camp counselor. 

In everything I do, I make it my goal to glorify God, give my best effort, have fun, and make others feel welcome and encouraged.
