Casey grew up in the Midwest with most of his young life being in rural Wisconsin. Spending much of his time outdoors camping, hiking, and fishing he then moved to urban Milwaukee to
pursue an undergraduate in Architecture + Design. Through many comprehensive design studios, he found his passion for design and retained his love for the environment through sustainability in architecture. This led to the early development of urban wind module through a kinetic facadeʼs studio where he developed the first mock-up iteration of a wall assembly that could produce
energy through wind and rain. Then moving to southern California in 2016 to join GGA Architects, he spent multiple years learning the architectural profession while working on affordable housing projects. After 1-year away from academia he decided to attend USC to pursue a Masters in Building Science + Sustainable design while continuing his architectural work full-time. During his thesis he learned refined practices for building design, construction and sustainability. Focusing much of his time understanding energy modeling, building analyses such as daylighting and solar analysis, it allowed him to come back to GGA and take over as their resident Building Science Analyst/ Environmental Designer. While working at GGA, Casey has continued the development
of the technology with the Mack Research team. Spending nights sketching ideas and workshopping the components with 3D modeling and 3d printing, the early-stage prototype is gaining further traction with a DOE grant. Casey is well nestled into the world of sustainability and looking to steer his career further into the cleantech community.
