His athletic career spanned over a decade and included two world university games, several world cup events, seven world championships, and three Olympic games.

Kaehler trained with some of the world's most successful rowing coaches including Igor Grinko, Mike Spracklen and Mike Teti. The exposure to these diverse training methods and philosophies helped shape Kaehler's singular perspective on conditioning and athletic performance. Kaehler remains the most successful U.S. male heavyweight rower at the world championships level with his four world titles, including a three-straight streak (1997–1999) with U.S. coach Mike Teti.

Held annually since 1839 (except for two world wars), the Henley Royal Regatta is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious rowing races held in Henley-on-Thames, England.Personal life
