The Good Life – July-August 2020

MARINE CORPS VETERAN
Outside of his full-time job at
Blue Cross Blue Shield and
volunteering with various veterans
organizations, Casebeer enjoys
spending time with his toddler
daughter. "I have a daughter named
Kahlan; she's great. She's a little
redhead. It's miserable outside
now, but in the summer we like to
go to parks and hang out and play,"
said Casebeer.
In any free time he has left Casebeer
trains his 40lb dalmatian puppy,
Dan Daly, named after an infamous
Marine. "I love my dalmatian. He's
one of the best animals there is.
Dan Daly was a Sergeant Major
in the US Marine Corps and was
awarded two medals of honor. He
fought in three different wars and
received medals of honor from
two different wars. It's a fantastic
name," said Casebeer.
The Good Life
A testament to the type of life
Casebeer strives to live can be
seen in how he was selected by
Northern Lights Council, Boy
Scouts of America in 2019 to
receive the Andrew P. Nelson
Award for Outstanding Leadership
and Service. This award recognizes
everyday heroes who quietly make
a difference in our community in
the way that they work, volunteer,
and make life better for others.
"The good life is mostly helping
other people. That's my driving
force for everything. A good life for
me is to be a responsible leader
and also to have people accept me
as a leader. Being a responsible
leader is to have a goal, set out to
accomplish that goal, accomplish
that goal, and then be able to
measure it. I can see that in the
work that I do - people are waiting
on me to tell them what to do,
especially for the Homeward Vets
program. I've got nine people on
standby. We all collaborate and
work together; we're all effective
leaders," said Casebeer. •
