Katie grew up in Louisburg and graduated from Louisburg High School in 2002. She earned her Bachelor of Arts and Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis in International Area Studies and English Lit but she also took some excellent business, finance, and real estate classes while there. After graduating, Katie served as a campus ministry intern for two years, and then decided to get her real estate license and started her career at Coldwell Banker Gundaker in St. Louis. In 2009, she got to move “home” and join the family business that her grandma and grandpa started in 1973, Crown Realty. Katie is happy to be married to her best friend and high school sweetheart, Eli Casey, who works as a paramedic with Johnson County Med-ACT. They have two wonderful kids (Micah and McKenzie). God is so good. They live in Spring Hill and their family is rounded out with two big silly dogs. Eli and she are active in their church (Grace Community) and love working with the youth ministry there. Their family loves the outdoors, hiking, camping, geocaching, horseback riding, and traveling.
