A transplant from Nashville in 2021, Caleb Wood brings a decade of producing experience to the Moonshine team, as well as a serious eye for detail.

If you’re looking for Caleb, you can usually find him in the trenches with his team getting involved in the finer details of the post process and finding creative solutions for his clients. The only job he loves more than fixing it in post is being a husband and dad.
