Carlson Diversified Engineering
The mission of Carlson Diversified Engineering is to exalt the name of Christ in the lives of others. Caleb spent a few years working in the corporate world during his education and immediately after graduating college. The way that employees were treated as numbers on a paper did not sit right with him. Caleb has fond memories of watching his father Bryan serve the public and treat those who worked for him with a “life comes first” attitude. When Caleb started CDE in 2025, he wanted to give back to the community that helped raise him and make a positive impact in the lives of others through service, one project at a time.
CDE is here to provide repair, refinishing, and design services, but most importantly, exalt the name of Christ by using our God-given gifts to serve others.
Caleb Carlson | Owner & Engineer
Caleb is a hands-on problem solver with a passion for design, craftsmanship, and community. Born and raised in Trumbull County, Ohio, he learned the value of hard work early on while working alongside his father, Bryan Carlson, at B.C. Automotive — a family-run body shop. That experience gave him practical skills and a deep appreciation for precision, quality, and integrity in every project he takes on.
Caleb earned his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) from Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio. Guided by supportive professors and mentors, he honed his ability to design, build, and bring creative ideas to life through both technical knowledge and hands-on experience.
Whether in professional settings or personal interactions, Caleb is known for his dedication, care, and commitment to excellence. Having worked for various corporations, he continues to be driven by his long-standing goal of starting his own business — one that blends craftsmanship, innovation, and service to his community. Having spent time working for corporations, he would rather spend his time serving the local community and giving back to those who have helped him!
In his free time, Caleb enjoys spending time with his family and working with his hands on any project he can think of or restoring a vehicle.
