In 1999, Casey founded the original IDEA Club at UC San Diego with a few friends and helped run the club for a few years while an undergraduate and graduate student at UCSD. Casey helped to co-found the IDEA Center with some other IDEA Club members.

 

Casey has a B.S. (2000) and M. S. (2001) in earth sciences from UCSD, where he was a student-researcher at Scripps Institution for Oceanography. He is a published geological researcher, having participated in research cruises, computer mapping, and oceanographic research. In 2005, Casey received his J.D. from the University of San Diego Law School.

A baseball fan, lover of the outdoors, and an advocate of environmental protection, Casey has always had an interest in the topic of origins. Casey assists with the IDEA Center's program to help students start IDEA Club Chapters at other high schools and universities. Feel free to also visit his site at CaseyLuskin.com and e-mail Casey regarding anything at "casey@ideacenter.org".
