After a couple years working in food service jobs and pestering Brandon about letting me work at Clutch, an opportunity arose.

I met the guys at Clutch playing bike polo while studying literature at Cabrillo College in Aptos and working at the Bagelry downtown. I now study Creative Writing and Gender Studies in college, and plan on writing to be published in the relatively near future. The other thing I do, besides biking and sleeping, is write. My music for me is about storytelling, which is a huge passion of mine. My band Pigeon Pit talks a lot about growing up in Santa Cruz being loud and queer and sad (you can check it out if you want but I didn’t tell you to) and has a lot of autobiographical narratives. I’ve played countless shows in the area, and everywhere up and down the west coast, in my own projects or in my friends’ bands. punk scene early, and have made being a musician a huge part of my life. I started working with bikes in high school at the local non-profit Bike Santa Cruz County (formerly People Power) instructing kids on bike safety and maintenance, making smoothies and generally “taking care of business”.

I started riding the treacherous roads of Santa Cruz in 1998-at the tender age of three, on a red plastic heartbreaker-and I’ve been wrecking hills ever since. We're only dissapointed that he had to quote Jason Gordon Levitt at the end of his profile.

Casey has recently left us for Seattle, but was a great addition to the crew while he was here.
