Casey graduated from Broken Arrow High School in 2000 and continued his education by pursuing his Bachelor's Degree in Agricultural Education at Oklahoma State University.  Armed with knowledge and deep appreciation for the agricultural industry, Casey set down roots in Northwest Oklahoma and built a life filled with love, purpose, and adventure.

Casey's professional journey included teaching Agricultural Education for seven years, with a commitment to his students and involvement in the FFA community.  His commitment and enthusiasm for agricultural education were evident to all who knew him.  Casey's impact on his students and his community extended beyond the classroom, as he nurtured a love for farming and ranching in the hearts of everyone.

In 2005 Casey met Abby while attending church and then married in 2007.  Together, they were blessed with two wonderful sons, Holden and Hayes, who brought immeasurable joy and pride to Casey's life.  As a dedicated father, Casey treasured every moment spent with his sons.  Alongside his best fishing buddy, Holden, they enjoyed competing in bass tournaments and fishing in every lake, pond and creek they came across.  The Hartwick family made countless memories alongside Casey including game nights with the family, spending time on the farm and ranch, and cheering on the Oklahoma State University football team.

Casey's dedication to his profession went hand in hand with his deep-seated love for his family, and he considered being a father his greatest accomplishment in life.
