Meet Casey
Casey has been playing paintball since around 1992, and by the mid-90s he was already taking Autocockers apart to see what made them tick. What started as a kid's curiosity at the field became a lifelong fascination with how things work, and how to make them work better.
Like a lot of players from that era, Casey eventually stepped away from the industry to chase bigger goals. He started a string of businesses in automotive performance, fabrication, manufacturing, hydrocarbon processing and firearms. Along the way he earned patents for several of his designs, from column chromatography filtration to FFL firearms.
His work in automotive performance took him around the world. He became a renowned tuner, known for matching software to performance upgrades so the two worked together seamlessly. From Lamborghinis to Autocockers, he's probably tuned it.
Now Casey is back in paintball. He brings decades of experience in business, manufacturing, composites, fabrication, design, electronics and programming, machining and coating. He knows his way around Planet Eclipse, Empire, Smart Parts, AGD, Angel, Tippmann and Spyder. His real passion has always been the Cocker, mechanical and electronic alike. And he still plays today.
Casey also started Gats for Grades, a program that rewards high-achieving students with custom paintball markers and gear. It's his way of giving back to the sport that started it all, and of showing the next generation of players that hard work pays off.
At 3C, every marker gets that same attention to detail, whether it's a full custom build or a tune-up on a classic.
