BIOGRAPHY

Steve Casey's woodworking career began in a night school wood shop class that he took in 1974 at the age of nineteen. Excited by the medium and wanting to learn more about the field, Casey enrolled in the Art Department at C.S.U. Northridge to study wood and design. While in school, Steve put himself through a self-imposed apprenticeship program and also worked for part time for various local woodworkers. He was hired in 1976 by a small furniture manufacturer and was eventually responsible for the entire factory line and all custom orders. While working and completing classes at C.S.U.N., Steve pooled his resources with a fellow wood student and opened up his own business. Inspired by the woodworking studio craftsmen of the day, Casey spent most of his early career designing and constructing original work for shows and competitions. In 1978 Casey quit school and his job to pursue the custom woodworking business full time as a designer /craftsman. Thirty years later Casey continues the tradition of the studio craftsmen that inspired him in the 70's. In recent times, Steve has become a nationally published author sharing his unique experience and expertise designing and building custom home theater furniture and cabinetry.
