Hi. I’m Casey and this is CaseyPeters.com.
This site is powered by a shiny tumblelog; a process that keeps my thoughts together in the form of quotes, links, pictures, videos and text entries. For those that know me, an organized blog won’t come as a surprise.
I grew up in Kingsport, TN where I graduated from Dobyns-Bennett High School. After tossing the cap, I headed for Knoxville and the University of Tennessee.
My undergraduate stint was capped off with a B.S. degree in Sport Management with a minor in Business Administration. Soon after graduation I landed at Clemson University looking for a Masters degree. After realizing my blood ran a different shade of orange I returned to UTK to complete my M.S. in Business.
Wanting more, I set out to research and explore my generation, “Millennials“. Locally, I learned of a disconnect between the leaders of tomorrow and the leaders of today. Thus, I co-founded YPK, a non-profit organization that serves, unites and inspires young professionals in the Greater Knoxville area.
When taking a break from bettering my community I enjoy a good game of tennis, 18 holes of golf or a friendly game of Wii Sports bowling. I also enjoy developing dynamic web projects that connect like minds.
If you’d like to reach me you may use my contact form and I will respond as soon as I have a chance.
