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 at the time.
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. Most recently, he has worked at the Scripps Paleomagnetics lab where he completed his masters research in 2001 and helped with various other projects. In 2005, Casey graduated from USD Law School with a J.D.
A baseball fan, lover of the outdoors, and an advocate of environmental protection, Casey has always had an interest in the origins issue and the relationship of science and religion. Being an earth scientist, he thinks biology could take a lesson from geology, as is explained in the following link: Paradigm Shifts in Geology and Biology: Geosynclinal Theory and Plate Tectonics; Darwinism and Intelligent Design. Casey will be heading the IDEA Center's plans to help students start IDEA Club Chapters at other high schools and universities.
