Born in 1983 Casey grew up in Champaign County. Casey is currently attending Parkland College and will graduate in fall of 07 with an AAS in Web Site Design.

I grew up wanting to be an animator, I loved to draw in general and what could be better than making your creations come to life? However in high school I began learning html on my own and making simple pages on free servers. I was hooked and worked hard to learn Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, etc on my free time. Many thanks go out to all the tutorial sites, online art communities, and message boards. Without them I would not have made it this far. Unfortunately I taught myself too much and when I attended parkland 02-04 I was extremely bored and unchallenged in my classes. The result was taking a very long break from college and art in general. I spent that break mostly exploring my other hobby, modifying cars. I almost made the mistake of coming back to be a mechanic or auto body tech but I ultimately decided I wanted to keep that a hobby and that art was my true passion. I returned to college in fall of 06 determined to finish and eventually start a career in web or graphic design.
