Casey was born in Houston, Texas and has participated in multiple sports throughout his life but narrowed his focus in high school to competitive swimming. He would eventually go on to compete at the NCAA Division 1 level. Post swimming, he retained a passion for strength and conditioning, but missed the achievement and focus that sports provided. After getting into martial arts and training MMA for a while, he shifted his focus to grappling to complement his striking skills.

A desire to stay in touch with his life in combat sports brought Casey to 10th Planet Austin in 2016.
