In high school, Casey sang in operas, working with the director from the New York City Opera. Casey went on to college at Southwest Missouri State University (now MSU) majoring in vocal performance. While attending college, he auditioned for the nationally known southern gospel group called Chosen Few.

Casey was offered the position and sang lead for Chosen Few for nearly ten years, including several at Silver Dollar City. In 2001, the group decided to leave Silver Dollar City to travel and tour to different churches around the country. Casey then met his wife in Arkansas while on tour. They were married in July of 2004. Being newly married, he realized the need to be home more with his new wife.

Casey received a phone call from Dan Britton asking him to fill in for Pierce Arrow. He accepted but was not sure yet if this was the permanent solution for him. After he and his wife sought the answer through prayer, he felt confident that Pierce Arrow was the right move. No doubt, as he has a smile that goes on for miles, lovin’ being able to go home every night to his wife, Lindsey and their little Boxer, Roxy.
