Previously, Casey was a day-one presidential appointee in the Biden-Harris administration at the U.S. Department of Transportation. He held multiple roles, including Director of Scheduling to Secretary Pete Buttigieg, where he helped manage principal operations and strategic engagement on behalf of the Secretary.Before entering federal service, Casey spent nearly a decade in Democratic politics, holding roles on high-profile campaigns across the country. He worked for leaders including Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, Dick Durbin, Kirsten Gillibrand, Gwen Graham, JB Pritzker, and Rahm Emanuel.

Casey has been a fan of horse racing since attending his first Kentucky Derby in 2016, but his interest started earlier—growing up, his mom would turn on the Derby every year to catch the most exciting two minutes in sports. He brings that passion to his work at West Point Thoroughbreds, and loves not just the horses, but also finds great joy in connecting with the incredible people and larger-than-life personalities who make the sport so special.

A proud Eagle Scout, Casey hails from Woodstock, Illinois—best known as the filming location for the movie Groundhog Day. He earned his degree in Political Science from DePaul University in Chicago and now lives in Washington, DC with his partner, Bailey, and their Olde English Bulldog, Louie.
