My name is Philip Casey, and I've called Charleston home for 27 years. I share my life with my fiancée, Rachel, and our two mini golden-doodles, Ollie and Lucy. Interestingly, Rachel and I began dating after discovering we lived just two streets apart in the neighborhood I moved into in 2020. Our engagement took place last year at Folly Beach, South Carolina. While Rachel enjoys fine dining, I'm perfectly content with tacos. In my spare time, I pursue photography and my passion for aviation as a pilot. 

Another passion of mine is serving with nonprofit organizations. I've had the privilege of volunteering with OneWorld Health on two medical mission trips, where we provided free medical care to patients in rural Uganda. Experiencing such a diverse culture and beautiful place while making a tangible impact on people's lives was truly priceless. The images I captured during these trips remain my favorite body of work to date. 

In 2017, I had the privilege of serving on Scotty's Ride for Water, benefiting Water Mission International. This remarkable 3,300-mile, 8-week-long cross-country cycling trip featured 13-year-old Scotty Parker cycling coast to coast to raise $633,669 for clean water. As part of his core support team, I drove the van carrying all of our gear and documented the journey with photos. This experience was one of the 
best trips of my life, profoundly impacting both me and the world.

That's a little bit about me. Enjoy the random photos of our adventures below. Feel free to send me a message at the bottom so we can get to know each other. Looking forward to talking to you soon!

We have a lot of fun with the airplane. I love flying the Cirrus to visit family for the weekend, embark on adventurous day trips to cities in other states, or enjoy breathtaking views over downtown Charleston. Flying an airplane is a unique blend of freedom and responsibility, offering a sense of reward like no other. Additionally, I volunteer as a pilot for Angel Flight, providing free air transportation for passengers in need of medical treatment far from home.
