Casey Smith was born and raised in Northern Utah. Although he had an early childhood appreciation for the outdoors, opportunities to experience it wouldn’t come until adult hood and after 10 years of service to the United States Army. Casey is a decorated combat veteran and has since switched his uniform for hiking boots. He now dedicates his spare time to making memories in the field and is a sitting board member for a veterans non profit, Hunts For The Brave, which specializes in taking military veterans on life changing hunting and fishing trips across the western United States. Casey is married to his high school sweetheart and together they have two children.
