The Story
The long road to Music City
Cale grew up with a baseball in his hand. By high school he was an All-American. The Tampa Bay Rays drafted him in the 16th round in 2004 — and he turned them down to play at the University of Alabama, where he started as a true freshman and earned All-SEC Freshman honors.
In 2005, he paused everything for a two-year mission in Portugal with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He came back fluent in Portuguese and with a record of leadership — District Leader, Zone Leader, and ultimately Assistant to the Mission President.
The Detroit Tigers drafted him near the end of his mission. He played six years of professional baseball before shoulder injuries ended his career in 2013.
That same year, Cale moved into the mortgage industry. Over the next decade at Supreme Lending he reached President's Club multiple times and led a team of loan officers built around discipline and service.
At the end of 2025, Cale stepped into a new chapter: Team Leader at Keller Williams Music City. He brought with him a wife he met in college, four kids, and a long memory for what it takes to compete and lead at the highest level.
