About Us

Caleb S. Cage left public service in 2022 to form Arc Dome Strategies, LLC, a private consulting firm in Reno, Nevada. Over Cage’s two decades of public service, he has led soldiers in combat, directed state agencies, and managed complex policy initiatives. Through all of these roles he has intentionally focused on learning about collaboration, teamwork, and implementation.

Cage is a 2002 graduate of the United States Military Academy, West Point, where he studied American History. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as a Field Artillery officer in the Army and was assigned to the 1st Infantry Division in Bamberg, Germany. During his five years of service, Cage served as a company executive officer and later as a motorized rifle platoon leader in the city of Baqubah, Iraq, later co-authoring a memoir about his experiences entitled The Gods of Diyala: Transfer of Command in Iraq. In 2006, Cage served a second tour as a Corps Information Operations battle captain in Baghdad.

Cage began his civilian career in 2007 as a Senior Policy Advisor to the Nevada Lieutenant Governor, where he developed and managed several successful veterans outreach initiatives. In 2010, Cage was appointed by Governor Jim Gibbons to serve in his cabinet as the Executive Director of the Nevada Office of Veterans Services (NOVS), and he was reappointed by Governor Brian Sandoval. During his time with NOVS, Cage spearheaded an innovative outreach and reintegration initiative called the Green Zone Initiative that aimed to bring together public and private resources for veterans, service members, and their families.

In 2013, Cage was asked to move into the position of Director of Military and Veterans Policy, a newly created position in the Office of Governor Brian Sandoval. In this position, Cage administered a collaborative effort to identify policy and budgetary recommendations to meet the Governor’s vision of making Nevada “the most military- and veteran-friendly state in the nation,” particularly in the areas of education, employment, and health and wellness. These recommendations resulted in the passage of eight pieces of legislature, which remains the most comprehensive reform program undertaken in the state.

In 2015, Governor Sandoval appointed Cage to serve as the Chief of the Nevada Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security Advisor to the Governor. Over the next four years, Cage managed Nevada’s mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts for a dozen declared emergencies and disasters. In 2017, he led the state’s response efforts to an unprecedented series of disasters for Nevada, including two Presidential Major Disaster Declarations for flooding, a near record fire season, and the October 1 mass shooting in Las Vegas.

In addition to leading during all phases of disasters, Cage also developed and implemented a major reform program with the Clark County Emergency Manager. This reform program established a strategy to transition to a paradigm of resilience instead of merely response and recovery; it streamlined the grant and policy structure for emergency management in the state; and it developed legislative recommendations intended to facilitate this transformation and provide mechanisms for its sustainment over time. Nearly every aspect of this strategy was approved by the legislature in 2019.

Following his time as emergency manager for the state, Cage served in a number of successive positions. In 2019, he was appointed to serve as the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Workforce Development and Community Colleges at the Nevada System of Higher Education. In 2020, Cage was asked by Governor Steve Sisolak to serve as the COVID-19 response director for the state, where he served for 14 months. In 2021, he was recruited back to the Nevada System of Higher Education, where he served as the Vice Chancellor for Workforce Development and Chief Innovation Officer.

During this same time, Cage pursued and received a master’s degree in security studies from the Naval Postgraduate School. He also published two peer-reviewed books on academic presses during this time, a collection of fiction short stories entitled Desert Mementos: Stories of Iraq and Nevada, and a non-fiction work entitled War Narratives: Shaping Beliefs, Blurring Truths in the Middle East. In 2019, he received the Silver Pen Award from the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame for his contribution to literature in Nevada. He is currently a PhD candidate in Political Science from the University of Nevada, Reno, which he plans to complete around 2025. He lives in Reno with his wife and three children.

Jackie began her career with the State of Nevada in 2013 and spent 10 years serving the state in various roles. Throughout her tenure, she made significant contributions to the public sector, serving under the leadership of two Governors, two Secretaries of State, and five departments, which include: The Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation, the Governor’s Finance Office, the Department of Business and Industry, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Administration.

Jackie’s expertise lies in budgetary and operations management. She recently served the Department of Administration as a Budget Analyst, where she worked alongside agencies to track, monitor and execute their budget, while building their bi-annual budget that was submitted as part of the Governor’s Recommended Budget. Prior to that Jackie served as Operations Manager to Governor Steve Sisolak, where she ensured smooth functioning office operations and effectively managed the day-to-day operations. Her commitment to excellence and attention to detail allowed her to handle complex tasks with ease, demonstrating her ability to juggle multiple responsibilities and meet deadlines.

Recognized for her hard work, extensive relationships, and performance, she recently assumed the position of Vice President of Government Affairs for Arc Dome Strategies. In this capacity, she leverages her in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of government to navigate the complexities of policymaking and advocacy. Her strong interpersonal skills enable her to build meaningful relationships with key stakeholders and effectively represent client
interests.
