Casey Wiley

Casey Wiley, a 2003 graduate of Siena College
...
Casey (e-mail him at casey wiley@hotmail.com) grew up in THE Saranac Lake, NY, attended high school with a few other coyotes where they spent their time talking about such useless stuff as $14 Ames boots, Stewarts milk shakes and a crummy documentary they were filming one summer on, GASP, themselves that would indeed be life-changing (namely to you).Casey then headed to Siena College, where he majored in English/ Writing and Friday fried chicken cafeteria dinners.He also played a smidge of rugby, wrote for the Albany Times Union and stood as Editor and Chief of the Siena Pendragon Literary Magazine.He then sailed south for a year and sweated profusely and endlessly in Football Operations and Special Events for the Miami Dolphins, a job that essentially translated to Dave Wannstedt's unintentionally comic mustache telling him to do tedious little tasks.Really.Casey now resides as the Assistant Director of Alumni Relations at Siena where he finds himself traveling randomly and going to events where people like to talk a lot.He also is pursuing his Master's in English Literature at SUNY Albany.

During this time, needing an escape from the drudgery of Troy, Matt frequently escaped to nearby Siena, where the close friendship with Casey and Dan was molded on the dusty football fields, sweaty dorms and congested townhouse parties that filled random weekends.

How Does it Feel? - Casey Wiley:Nothing says the Adirondacks like scratching records in your parents' house, twenty-four years after your birth.Not destroying them, or intentionally rendering them useless, but spinning them, start, stop, back and forth, forward, forward manipulating the original sound, squeaking it on two turntables in my friend's room in Saranac Lake.Chase's parents were visiting relatives out of state and I was up from Albany visiting my family.There was little to do one evening, so I invited myself and another friend over to try out Chase's Christmas present.
