Raised on the Connecticut shoreline, Casey returns to Boston after a half-decade exploring American byways and getting a proper education at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. He spent a few years reporting on the ins and outs of 40Bs in the Boston suburbs and maintains an active interest in high places with tremendous views. His work has appeared in BACKPACKER, Mother Jones, and Tufts magazines, and various newspapers, and he has won awards from the New England Press Association, the Kansas City Press Club, and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education.
