"Casey moved to Corvallis in 1995 to attend Oregon State University where he earned his BS and master's degrees in speech communication with a focus on media studies. During his time at OSU he spent a lot of time studying video production and documentary theory, but would soon trade in the video camera for a still camera near the end of his master's program.
After graduating from OSU, he had the good fortune to be hired on at the Corvallis Gazette-Times where he worked for four years. The time he spent at the GT allowed him to see all of Corvallis, Philomath and the surrounding areas and meet some of the most amazing people. Sharing people's stories and the opportunities to inform people about their community was a blessing. Those opportunities to help those in need through photographic storytelling made all of the hard work and long hours worth it.
Now, Casey works in Tualatin as a web designer, communications assistant and photographer at the Oregon Nurses Association. While he isn't doing photography as a career full-time, he still keeps a camera in his hands for much of the time. He still maintains ties to Corvallis too as he does a lot of photography for the local roller derby team, the Sick Town Derby Dames."
