Casey Strangle

When Casey was around 6 years old, her mother finally gave up on Casey's career in ballet.  Mom got tired of all the noises Casey would make, including all the giggles when practicing the first and second positions.

So Casey decided if she wasn't going to be a dancer, her options were either to:

a) Study hard and become a Biochemist; or

b) Play sports and become one of those people listen and talk back (loudly) to sports radio.

Option "A" seemed a little lame... So, for 25 years Casey has played every type of organized sport that she could.  (Exceptions being for volleyball, which hurts her arms, and any kind of racing.)  Casey hates to lose, and there are very few people she can outrun. So Casey doesn't race.

Even though Casey has never played roller derby, it's probably the sport she has watched the most. This is all thanks to two superior beings: Grandma and God. Casey's Grandma would wake her early every Sunday morning at 5:30am for church at 8:00am. And what was on TV at 5:30am in New Mexico? Just a few choices: infomercials, the test pattern screen with the colored bars, and roller derby.

Casey watched at least an hour and a half of roller derby every week from the age of 6 until she left home for college. It might not have been "real," but it was still roller derby. And it was awesome! Casey got involved in GGRD thanks to some Bombshell fancy-talk and promises of lots of time on the dance floor. The sad irony is that Casey doesn't know how to dance.

Casey managed the Brooklyn Bombshells from 2009-2009.
